Metal Mouth Message Board

I'm seeing my 4th ortho tomorrow , hope he's the one !!!

Thanks again for all the help:)

Can't wait to start my journal here, bring on the heavy metal;)

And this is why I can't choose an ortho, I'm afraid of being stuck with a Dr I don't want to have working on me. Do you have a website that has reviews for orthodontists in your area? Here in Canada we have a decent site called ratemd.com have narrowed my search down with this, but I see my 4th tomo...

6200-6800 for me in Barrie Ontario, have one more to check out tomorrow. Then it's time to choose:)

Very true thanks, although for some reason orthodontists don't take well to questioning "their plan" I inderstand they are the professionals and all, I just want to know why sometimes and I have seen some of them get all defensive when I was only curious. I just don't want to make them fee...

My orthodontist has recommended a bite plate and I don't want it!!!! :) I would prefer the build ups as I have read they are the easier of the 3 options to deal with, but still suck. I just don't want a lisp and to talk weird being a guy in his 30s and working in sales I don't think I could hadle th...

How is it decided what one is needed for correcting a deep bite ?

Are they interchangeable ?

Personal preferences...... When I first decided I was getting braces I was sure I wanter Clear / white brackets,,,,,, now that I have been waiting for the day I have changed my mind am going all silver, for me they look cleaner and the smaller size is a plus! The first few months look worse as they ...

I have quotes of 6200$ 6500$ and 7000$ for my teeth in Barrie Ontario Canada

Strangely enough I will be going with the 7000$ quote as we seemed to get along the best.

Just used mine for the first time, wow it's powerful. Had it on 4 , and felt like it might be doing damage to my gums haha. What a strange feeling, I will stay at 2 and work my way up, very cool product!!!!!!

I got the waterpik ultra in black, incase you we're wondering.

I wish there was an easier way, I guess different personalities are drawn to different people. But you're very right don't just go to one ortho and think they are all the same.Would be great if this site had a recommendation area,...... Or does this site already have that?Or is that possible not all...

Yes I had them already from the first ortho, he also didn't change for them. Surprising I know.....

I also had a mold made at the second one, hope I get that too, seeing it cost me money. Will know tomorrow:)

Great thread!
I'll be brushing 3 times a day and picking up a waterpik TODAY!!

I'll be 33:)

Very frustrating , I'm going to a 3rd orthodontist tomorrow to hopefully find the right one for me. I'm not a hard person to please, some people are just rude, good luck on the rest of your treatment:)

I have been to two different orthodontists and have a 3rd appointment tomorrow with another one. First one didn't seem very friendly and totally rushed, didn't even look in my mouth only at the photos the the nurse took. The second place wanted to take some photos and I noticed on the machine that h...
