Metal Mouth Message Board

Its been a while since my last post, I’ve been so busy with work and such. Well, my braces were placed in Aug, 2004 (treatment time est. 24-30 months)and I’m starting to get aggregated for impatient or something…LOL. My orthodontist, I feel is trying to rush my treatment just to get them off a...

Thanks for responding!!!! Its getting late tonight, I'll try to post some pictures. I've been following your posts Clo and I'm seeing some similiarties between your case and mine. I'm just hoping that this works. I still think I will have to have elastics to fix my bite on my left side, I just wish ...

Stacy, Thanks for responding

Thats really strange. How long have you had braces? I feel your frustation, I hope for you sake that they fix your cross bite.

Thanks and Take Care

Thanks for responding Chris, They did tell me I might have some spaces and have to have some bonding, but one of my front spaces keeps getting bigger. That elastic has brought my canine down some, but I just don't understand why part of my top wire was removed, my top arch is so flaired out I beleiv...

Ok, Next month marks my 2ed anniversary since being braced. My original sentence is for 30 months. Now that being said, my last adjustment was last week, my bite on the left side started getting worse from about 6 months in to the braces process. Basically, I feel like I’m not even biting on my le...

bracefacesteve, Sorry, I didn't take any pictures when I had to wear the hg. I've been free from headgear for about 6 months now (thank goodness). When I first posted in this thread, I had hooks welded to the wire, but once the hg moved my teeth back far enough they attached the hooks directly to th...

None for me yet, I've had my braces since Aug 2004

Your teeth are looking good. I have the same type of brackets as you do.....Well my front 6 and front bottom look like the normal type of metal brackets, but the rest look exactly what you have on. I'm kinda curious what type they are, they don't seem as common. Anyway, your treatment is awsome so f...

21 months for me, no broken brackets as of yet

KK is totally right

I believe it was 3 month between my initial consult, x-rays and impressions untill I got my braces placed. My ortho is very busy plus I had to have dental work done before the braces could actually be placed.

I wish you the best of luck with your upcomming treatment

unless you let him??? I got my braces on in Aug 2004 and developed a gap between my left lateral and canine within 6 month....I still have this gap :? What aggervates me is that they were going to start closing some spaces during my next adjustment (thats been 3 adjustments ago) plus I'm getting new...

I also had the option to pay upfront and receive a discount, but I put about $1300 and then I have monthly payments of $117.

I'm actually kind of excited, I only have 1 more payment left

I love that pink, I got the same color pink at my adjustment yesterday. Your teeth are looking very nice (they also look very white also).....

Good Luck with your braces and contrats on taking the first steps. You'll be amazed on how fast your teeth start to move.

How long do you have to wear them for? Again, Congrats and I wish you a speedy treatment.

Ev's Mom,

Thats pretty neat, it is a small world. LOL. I actually live outside of Dongola.
