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.

Incognito Brace - Sharp Wire and a Sharp Tweak


OnWednesday, the blob of glue that my orthodontist stuck over the sharp end of the wire of my Incognito brace came off, so I had to go back yesterday to have it stuck on again.
He wasn't there so I saw his colleague, who is actually his wife! 
She did the repair and that was fine, then we had a discussion about my teeth and how long it had taken to get them right.
She examined them and told me that everything is being done to get them straight as soon as possible which I knew.
She suggested that she put a tuck in the wire each side of the tooth in the photo to try to get it in the right position; it only hurt for a moment as she tweaked it.
Basically, they feel that if this latest round of adjustments doesn't work, then they will try a brace on the outside which should put everything right very quickly.
Quite honestly, I don't think I'd mind that for a short time if it would mean that I would get that perfect smile!
