Metal Mouth Message Board

Coming into the end of my journey! It feels pretty surreal! I had my appointment today to check on healing and bone integration. My dentist said everything looks great! He was amazed at how well my gums healed up, and the assistants made me laugh running around looking for a tray to fit my mouth sin...

Hello everyone!!! I had two dental implants and abutments placed on 11/2. I'm congenitally missing both lateral incisors. Since they placed the abutments they had to adjust the two teeth in my retainers. When I first got my retainers from my ortho, they did an okay job on them, but for some reason t...

Yea everything has went great with the implants so far just awaiting the bones to fuse with implant. Nope not at all! I am however having issues with my retainer on the right side now due to the ortho office when they made my retainer somehow left a lot of space in my right canine slot. Since having...

Well everyone I know it's been quite some time since I began my braces journey. My husband and I finally picked up awesome dental insurance through his job. I finally began my last restorative process with two implants. The procedure wasn't bad at all. I just kept my eyes closed and let them do thei...

My apologies everyone who has viewed my story. I tthought I had posted results. I am not happy happy with my outcome. Yes it is better than before but not the perfect smile I thought I would have at the end of my journey a couple years ago. I feel like the top right of my bite looks wonky.

Oh my! I haven't been on here any recently! I am now out of braces got them.removed Dec 17th. And as of the appliance question, no I did not have any applainces . I will.update a picture soon!

Jul 10 2012 So my previous orthodontist appointment was a couple weeks ago. I went to my 6 month cleaning at my dentist office today! Yay no cavities :-* Anyways, my dentist was thoroughly puzzled as to why my orthodontist cut off all the wires from my canines back on top and bottom teeth and added ...

Hii! I have the same thing with my teeth! Lost both of my lateral incisors as baby teeth and no adult teeth to replace them! I had to endure that spacey smile until 2 years and a few months when I decided I had had enough! I am also 23 and at the end of my treatment which will be DECEMBER 17th! I ne...

I sure wish it was this way here in the US! I hate that I've spent all that money and still not where my teeth are supposed to be. And I have never had the same assistant. Always someone different! I figure they just want to get clients in and out so they can get more done in a day. Usually at each ...

Okay so my story is posted on here but a brief summary...I am missing both of my lateral incisors which i would have to get bridgework to replace, and missing 2 back bottom molars. They closed one of the spaces....but an assistant messed up cutting wires amd one of the molars spaces that was suppose...

Thanks everyone! I called them back about week after I spoke to the lady before whom told me to call after bridge work could be done. I spoke with another woman. I asked her if they could verify with my orthodontist my course of treatment due to having to wait on the bridgework. She said she would c...

Okay so I was told at my consultation for my braces that I would get my braces removed and a retainer. Then when I get my bridge work done I would have to purchase another retainer. I am missing both of my lateral incisors. I was told to call and schedule a consultation with my dentist for bridge wo...

Well I went in today! They said the last assistant clipped the wire too short;therefore, it wasn't engaging that first molar on the left side. :shock: So they replaced my whole bottom wire, and now using a different variation of elastics. Can already see improvements, and feel it too! Ooowwiee. :| T...

Continued on. The previous few appointments have been pretty good. At my appointment about 8 weeks ago, I was told that they were going to not do anything, stop rubber bands, and all that to see how everything was 'holding up'. My next appointment after that....back in rubber bands wires clipped som...

Well, as I have been poking around and looking at my teeth, I noticed that my wire on the right side goes to my first molar on bottom and on the left it stops at the small tooth by the first molar. :huh: I guess I'm going to call them up Monday, and see if they can take a look and see if everything ...
