Welcome to my blog. I'm having braces fitted at the age of nearly 56, and I thought you might find my experiences useful, if you are thinking of doing it too.

New Softer Incognito Wire. More Stripping or Polishing. Incognito Bracket Stuck on Again.




















I had a better time today when I visited my orthodontist. I hadn't been looking forward to it, and even took some paracetamol in case it hurt, but it was ok.
He removed the wire he'd fixed last time and re-stuck the bracket which had come off the tooth to my left of my front two teeth. The new wire went on quite easily because it's softer, although he did 'polish' or rub down the spaces between my front teeth. He did it manually with a diamond strip which was far better than the motorized method. Overall I was pleased and you can see from the photos that my teeth look straighter already!
However, the re-stuck bracket came loose after lunch, even though I only had soup, bread cut into little pieces (so I didn't have to bite it), and slices of banana.
So I'm going to have to go back.
