Metal Mouth Message Board

My treatment time is 24-30 months estimated! But I've not had them before, have 4 rotated teeth and need 4 extracted, so that probably explains it.

My ortho said he'd do this for me as I have fan shaped (triangular?) teeth. I thought it sounded a bit odd so its awesome to hear that it's worked well for others!

The standard at my practice is 8 weeks
