Metal Mouth Message Board

I am now 16 days into treatment with Acceledent and on tray 5. I am changing trays every 3-4 days. Things are going great so far! I just had attachments put on 2 days ago, they are pretty rough on the inside of my mouth but am told that they will smooth out in a week or so with brushing and eating. ...

Haha good for you! You sound like you're having fun with it!

Wow that is a pretty horrible set of teeth if I do say so myself. If that isn't motivation to keep going then nothing is. I will surely regret waiting this long to do this.

How are things going for you? Are you seeing improvement yet? Did you talk to your ortho about Acceledent ? Hope all is well.

I will try to add a before photo if I can figure out how. http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10765;130/st/20150617/e/Since+Invisalign+Began/k/c...

Finally got started with Invisalign a few days ago and things are going surprisingly better than I expected.

It's not such an old thread ...I say go for it. Don't wait until you are 60 like me. Now I wish I had done it much sooner. I could have had a nice smile for all those years that I can't get back.

Thanks for the reply 6bug, I am still waiting for mine to come in and already wishing I had done this sooner..I have to say though that the longer I wait the more nervous I get. Good luck with yours smile.

Ahhh thanks so much "Bracesat57" you are so encouraging. I like the comment about friends not being able to see them without their glasses. I'm sure I will have moments of doubt but will hang in there because I sgree that it will be worth it.

Thanks again to all who posted, Ann

I wish I knew how to use this site. I was trying to reply to someone but my reply became part of their message. I'll figure it out.

[quote="Bracesat57"]Hi there, I am now 58 and have had my ceramic braces on for 7 months. I first checked into Invisalign but my ortho said it would be easier to move my teeth with braces. The clear radiance braces are wonderful. I had trouble eating I the beginning but it only lasted a ve...

Thank you Dee, that is encouraging and I'm happy that it was so successful for you.

Thank you for your replies, they are encouraging. I have one more question, does anyone here use acceledent? My orthodontist has recommended it to speed things up.

[quote="AnnB550"]Hi, I am new here and recently had scans done to get Invisalign braces at the ripe old age of 60. I know that your post is a year old but hope that you will see this. My orthodontist said that they kind of push the teeth out and then push them back in to line them up nicel...

Am I really alone in this?? My ortho said that they have numerous patients over 55. Hoping someone replies.
