Metal Mouth Message Board

Injections or any medications that get rid of the pain are painkillers that only provide temporary relief. If there is an underlying issue that is causing this pain, it will come back once the medication wears off. Did your dentist find anything else from your xrays apart from your teeth having mov...

Hi So im roughly 1 year POST braces ... second time i had braces i thought i was getting full mouth treatment but it was "fast braces" and they only done front teeth. (I was misled) I hated the results because they done 2 much ipr and thined my teeth.. But i have another problem my lower t...

So my "6 month braces" have been off for about a week im not wearing retainers(not happy with results) Im getting sharp pains on my lower teeths when i put preassure against them... anybody know what this pain is? Pain when i bite onto food .. not pain when i drink something hot or cold......

I'm sorry you went through all that agony and frustration. I don't know what British law states about malpractice, or whether it would be worthwhile for you to pursue that route. I think you might want to have an honest talk with your dentist and see if he is willing to refund you some amount. If n...

I hate to say this, but....your gum disease should have been addressed and cleared up before any orthodontic work was done for you! I have to wonder, what is wrong with that dentist? IMO, you really should go see a periodontist to get your gums healthy. That should be your top priority. Im so upset...

So i took my 6 month braces which turnrd in 9 months but anyways as you all know i was misled by the dentist thinking it was an orthodontist... So part of the deal was i get teeth whitening done after braces but 4 months before i got braces i asked the dentist if i can get teeth whitening done... an...

So after doing more research on braces and extractions I realised due to extraction 4 teeths when i was younger and had braces here are the side effects i have: -sunken in face -sunken in jaw / receeded jaw -smaller upper lips -sleep apnea I always wonder why my mouth and jaw looked slightly off com...

Actually after extractions my teeth were perfectly aligned but as i got older i got all the side effects of getting extractions, such as sunken in face, lips became smaller and less fuller. I never knew that until i saw the side effects of extractions as i always wondered why my lips became so small...

Im just confused about creating "space" when i was younger i had 4 extractions to create space and teeth aligned perfectly. 5 years later i had very minor crowding yet the 6 month smiles dentists said I NEED TO DO IPR to create space in my teeth so teeth can align... This has left my front...

So i did not like the results of my teeth after 6 month smiles and will not wear retainers in order for teeth to return to original position. My question is i had IPR done on lower teeths where they create gaps in teeth to align teeth. so im asuming if my teeth were to relapse would i get big gaps i...

I had 6 month smiles and my dentist pushed my teeth back and made my mouth smaller and narrower, i find it hard to find space to rest my tounge comfortable. Im not going to wear retainers once i take my braces of next month... i hope my teeth push forward again.. what are the chances of teeth relaps...

You only had your braces for 7 months...they will definitely move if you do not wear your retainer. I had my braces for 4 years...and they have been off for 3 years..with little changes because I wore my retainer everyday (until it broke at the 2 yr mark) and I am now using my positioner. I think t...

NOBODY GET THIS FAST BRACES OR 6 MONTH SMILES, i was misled by a dentist thinking i was getting braces and i got 6 month smiles it has left my mouth more smaller and narrow and uglier looking and the worst thing is i get pain due to not enough tongue room in my mouth, when i take my braces of i will...

Is there a reason that you are considering not wearing a retainer? Is it uncomfortable, or are you dissatisfied with its appearance? Or are you concerned it would interfere somehow with your life-style? I've been debraced for over a year at this point, and wear my Vivera retainer only at night. I r...
