Exactly.

Marigold its so simple to make and you can use whatever you like for ingredients. All you need is a good blender.

If you dont want to or cant make from scratch just look for a healtier one off the shelf with reduced sodium.

No I have more... not less saliva....lol

The plate itself is not bad and stops me from grinding at night so thats a good thing. :thumbsup: I though I was fully informed too but you dont know until it hits you want you can, and can't eat even though its soft its just not worth the work to clean after. :shock: I am also turning the negative ...

The bite plate is basically a retainer that is built up so there is a ledge behind the front teeth. What this does is prevent the top teeth from biting off the bottom braces when there is an overbite. Now instead of my top teeth coming down over the bottom it hits the top plate and has to stop.

lol.

Funny you ask as I was going to do that yesterday and then I had second thoughts and figured its only two more weeks so suck it up Right.....


I will try and pick up some Crest Glide tomorrow as I am getting my Waterpik then.

Very well stated.

And that's why I am told I will be getting a lingual retainer on the botttom when the braces come off.

Funny you ask, as I did notice that they moved but they are more like fangs then they were prior. Not huge but definitley different. It appears that they are being straightened and then they will be tucked back in line.

Looking great and giving us all hope.

I love reading your post and your commentary rocks....classics such as dun dun dun and Who's yer Daddy. Hell Ya!!
