Metal Mouth Message Board

I have small triangles also. They bugged me at first but now I hardly notice.

Well I'm really happy with the results. I think I'll stick with the removable

So I just returned from the ortho. He filed between the lower teeth and I now have my spring retainer. It literally feels like I was punched in the mouth.

I'm set to get my Spring retainer next week. Hopefully someone can give me some reassurance that It should correct my issue. Do you think I'm being picky? :Questions: One Month before removal http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee234/pigonthego/Braces%202/Braces1.jpg Day after retainer. As you can se...

Yes I have permanent on my upper and lower. I wear an essix at night. My uppers look great but the front lowers have shifted. Considering what the used to look like they aren't bad.

I assume they aren't charging?

Wow I just looked at your post and yeah that look identical. Crazy catgyrl ... The chip was never bonded. Over the course of treatment he moved th...

Just a little background. I've never liked my smile and when I was a kid my parents couldn't afford braces. I hated smiling and rarely did in pictures. At 38 I finally had enough and took the plunge. Total time braced was 2 years and 1 day. It was worth every dollar and the days in braces Day Before...
