I'm in the same situation.

I'll start treatment next week.

I have been thinking about the type of braces I want since November 2017.
I have considered my life every day, what my girlfriend, who also wear braces, would say, what the kids would say, and not least the job. I have daily contact with many people in my job, so I'm not really sure.
But after a brief with ortho, he told me it was just the usual metal braces was the only option for my treatment. He asked if it was a problem for me.

Since then, until February of this year, I have thought, considered and asked my girlfriend about her treatment and how she has dealt with it.
She already has metal brackets.
Since I was a teenager, I have liked braces , all different kind of types.
Particularly metal brackets..

Shiny metal on a man of 38?
LOL ????????

On the following Monday, it happens.
I really not sure, what kind of feeling i have..

But I'm bit scary.

Hi.

I'm 38 years old man.
At the next monday, i will get braces

For my treatment, there was no choice to choose other than full metal brackets.
My mouth will therefor be filled with metal.
I got braces on both jaws, at same time.

But, some questions:

This is my first visit. Is it normally to put on the braces on the first visit?

Is there an chance for this?

If someone also will share they're process, and would like to follow me up during this treatment, you are welcome.

I'm bit scared of my own look, with braces. So, if you have some friendly tips, or want give me challenges to help me, then feel free to write to me.

It's really uncomfortable and difficult to speak with. I also got a herbst now and can't speak. I am going to speech therapy and seeing if that helps.

Last week, I got a herbst appliance to help bring my lower jaw forward. It's really uncomfortable and shows on the outside of my lower lips when I close my mouth. It helps me jaw look more distinct, but my orthodontist said I would need it to be activated. He also mentioned the possibility of me getting a chin implant and gave me the names of some surgeons. He recommended it but also said it's my choice. I wonder if this would happen during my treatment and if I should get a consult.

Yes,

I'm very interested. My Neckstrap is little short.

Hallo kurze Frage könnte der Shop eventuell diese extra langen hg Nackenbänder von dieser Seite https://www.orthocare.co.uk/acatalog/Extra-Long-Multi-Coloured-Neckstraps-830_154.html#SID=322
bestellen und weiter verkaufen da man als Privatperson nichts dort bestellen kann. Vielleicht hätten ja noch andere Interesse daran. Danke!!!

Wow, that sounds intense

He said I would need the expander for 9 months. He said I would need the crib for longer and maybe for the remainder of my treatment. But it's attached to the expander, so he said I would either get a new fixed crib after the expander is out or hopefully a removable one.

How long do they say you'll need to have the appliances?

I recently started orthodontic treatment for crowding and a large overjet and overbite. It's gotten worse over time. My orthodontist said I have a tongue thrusting habit that must be corrected and started my treatment by putting on partial braces and an upper expander with tongue crib. I got them last week and they are very uncomfortable. My speech is bad with a lisp and it's hard to eat, swallow, and speak. My orthodontist said I would adjust and recommended speech therapy. I had my first appointment on Friday and my speech therapist gave me exercises for improving my speech and retraining my tongue so it doesn't thrust against my teeth. I want the appliance out, but my speech therapist and orthodontist but think it is really important. The expander is also painful and I have to turn it with a key.

Thank you for asking. She's doing fairly well with them. She was required to wear them 22/7 for about six weeks, then the ortho moved her to nighttime-only wear. She does forget occasionally, so I remind her and sometimes even have to wake her and put them in for her, haha.

She prefers the Essix for comfort, but wears the Hawleys a lot just because I prefer them. The Hawleys still induce a lisp, which I find charming.

I really need to have her make a video comparing the two retainer types.

How are the retainers treating her?

Why you have second braces?

I think it's too late because they would have had to mold the wire clasp that the headgear tube is attached to into the acrylic. Maybe post on the "buying from braces shop" thread and see what the shop technician says

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to modify a device to add headgear tubes. Here's a photo:

A tounge crib would be awesome!
