Metal Mouth Message Board

Wow, congratulations on your progress! I could have only dreamed of my gaps closing before I even left my ortho's office! I can't comment on how common that is or why it might happen, but that is great! Best of luck with the next phase.

I am an RN with experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery, but with such a complicated history I think the best bet is for you to consult with a plastic surgeon (perhaps a different one who did your original procedures). Best of luck to you.

Congratulations, sounds like you are making great progress! My bite was messed up throughout treatment, and then at the very end - voila! Everything seemed to come together. Best of luck to you.

Great to hear your update and congratulations on your progress! Sounds like you are doing everything right. I had forgotten about the "creaky teeth" you mentioned, but as soon as I read your post I immediately thought of my obsession with it :lol: . I won't comment on the role of the power...

This is an older post, but some have used a product called Biotene for dry mouth...also, avoid mouthwashes with alcohol. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for sharing, this is the first I have heard of this (I'm definitely out of the loop.)

Congrats on making the decision to start your orthodontic adventure! You can of course do a Google search on orthodontic springs such as this one https://www.adventureortho.com/why-do-some-patients-need-braces-with-springs/#:~:text=Coil%20springs%20are%20placed%20along,teeth%20together%20to%20reduce...

I can't directly help you, but I did do a search on this board and came up with many pages herein: https://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/search.php?keywords=lower+lingual+arch&fid%5B0%5D=13 . It may be bit much to read through but I think you'll find some interesting perspectives. Best of luck to you!

My understanding is that they can be adjusted -- you've probably already Googled "Can Hawley retainers be adjusted," but would advise that you consult with your orthodontist -- I don't think this is a DIY project. Best of luck to you.

Let's revive this thread I want to see those photos, please upload them

A very unique and colorful look! Looks very good, glad things are going well.

Full steam ahead!

He may just have an excellent understanding of his market, no offense to any Tar Heels out there. Let's see how it plays out. Despite my best efforts not to, I had to laugh at the name of the promotion, "Grins and Glocks." We'll have to see how Invisalign responds if this thing takes off. ...

Welcome to the forum! I'm just a bit unclear what audience you are seeking. From your interest in pdfsmart, it would seem you are targeting administrative personnel within dental practices; likewise I am uncertain if you are seeking information about "dental devices" from the professional ...
