It seems likely that I will be getting braces soon and stumbled across your blog while searching for information. I must say that I’ve really enjoyed reading your experience as an adult with braces, and I’ve learned quite a lot from your postings. I am considering ordering an Oral Irrigator, and since we don’t have power outlets in our bathrooms where I’m from I’m looking at the portable Waterpik and the Panasonic. Would you mind updating us on how you liked the Panasonic one?

Much appreciated

I don’t know if you would call it an underbite. More like the top teeth came down even on the bottom teeth, instead of out over them. Made it great for chewing my nails, something that is pretty much impossible with braces. As far as I know I wont need surgery. There was talk of surgery early on by my previous orthodontist who thought I might need something done with my jaw.

I’m going to be getting braces (as an adult) soon. It sounds like you have an underbite, just like me. Are you going to need surgery at all?

No, it never goes away. The people with braces just never eat. Ever.

My wife has braces and I recently purchased the
Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator for her.
She loves it and uses it both at home and at work.
With braces it seems like everything gets stuck in them so she uses the Panasonic product to keep the clean.

Any discomfort I have experienced has lasted only a handful of days.

Hi,

I am an adult who got braces on both my upper and lower teeth 5 days ago, and am experiencing a lot of discomfort. Do you know when this feeling goes away? I hear between two weeks and a month.

I bought personal dental waterpik 11/06. It is still under warrenty. Last week I through the box away thinking I save too much. The next day my water pik wasn’t working. Very little water comes out the jet tip. More water is coming from handle.
It is model WP-60W. Think that is right, it has 3 jet tips. I bought it at K Mart and they said I had to contact you. What should I do. I can’t live without a waterpik.
Thanks, Joan

I had assumed that the price for braces had really dropped over the years. Also, I didn’t think that dnetal insurance covered getting braces particularly adult braces. Live and learn.
