IMPACTED CANINE

Impacted canine - gold chain dangling down! Last Thursday I had an operation to attach a gold chain to my left canine that won't come down! My right canine also used to be impacted, but a year ago I had an exposure operation that caused the tooth to just move down on it's own.

Wax should stick to anything rather easily. If you are using regular dental wax, try smooshing it between your fingers to warm it and make it more malliable before applying it to your brackets.

MY BRACES ARE CHANGING COLORS? by FinallyBracesFree » Sun Feb 15, 2015 9:52 pm. When I had braces the first time, they never changed colors. Now they're changing colors. I got baby blue last time and they turned a weird shade of green. This time I got light pink and within 2-3 days after getting them on, they have turned a peach/orange color.

Pull it down gently until it comes slightly loose and then do the same on the other side of your mouth. Then gently pull your retainer off, from one side or the other. INVISALIGN ALLERGY SIDE EFFECTS UPPER RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS I think you are right.
