Metal Mouth Message Board

Nearly every single tray broke, either a split over the back molars or between the two front teeth. I never had the tray replaced, i needed refinements, coming to an end of them now and i'm unhappy but just want this whole experience to end.

I have a lower bonded retainer and had some leveling done. Levelling is fine, you don't even notice. The bonded retainer is bothersome, I've had it for about 7 months now and still play with it constantly. Food doesn't get too stuck in it though, you can buy a flosser but I dont really use them, jus...

Hi my ortho is in Stockport and took 3 months!!! He said Invisalign were trying to give me another 22 alligners and he badgered them down to 10.

I'm now on tray 7 and will go into traditional braces when finished

Hello I finished my bottom row almost a year ago and was bothered by a wobbly tooth. After having an xray it showed bone loss and my ortho has recommended me to have a bone augmentaion. Questions; 1. What the owww factor? 2. Its booked in for 20th December -will I be able to eat Xmas dinner? 3. Any ...

After I finished invisalign I had one wobble tooth, my ortho kept saying its normal the teeth are just settling down. Aftert 8 months I went back because its started to hurt, they took an xray and there is a big gap around the roots, apparently bone loss. I can either have the tooth removed or some ...

I was never offered that option, I was always quoted a bonded retainer £225 each. I asked about the invisalign ones half way through my treatment and I was fobbed off really, he said they were expensive and bonded was better. I've got bonded on the bottom row already, I just can't wait to get out of...

Can you wear your last alligner as a reatiner even though you've had your attatchments off?

About 20 hours a day.

I'm just in the process of getting refinements and my ortho says thats the reason why!

He can be a bit of git.

Mine have finished at the bottom and do not look half as good as them, my midline is still completley off but I don't care, just want to get it all finsihed.

can you get away with only wearing your braces for like 12 hours a day.

Wouldn't they already have moved as much as they are going to move. i've been waiting six weeks and I have an appointment in another 2 weeks time so can you be a bit slack with them?

I drink all the time with them in. I soak the trays in retainer brite every now and again and they seem fine. I always give them a brush with toothpaste when I brush my teeth and all seems fine.

I usually drink wine with them in, and if i'm out I just give them a little rinse now and again.

I currently have a lower bonded retainer (which I hate, its lumpy and uncomfortable) and my ortho wants to put a bonded one on the upper. I'm less than thrilled about this. Each bonded retainer cost me £225. So, when I asked about the invisalign retainer he just said 'oh they are really expensive', ...

Mine stopped fitting over one attatchment on about 17U of 29U then another one at about 23U. I wanted a mid course correction but was told I would have to pay!!!! So I opted for the refinements. I've been waiting 6 weeks now for them. My ortho rang me last week and said Invisalign have suggested ano...

I've gained weight as after a meal I get my pudding in, a bar of chocolate, gloss of wine.......

I'm now a bingeater lol

My last 6 trays didn't cover a particular tooth.

I've already posted a thread on this but Invisalign are coming back with 28 tray refinements.

Ive got a horrible feeling about it not working for me either.
