Metal Mouth Message Board

Hello,
I agree with Rory. I've just had my braces for 1 month but it has involved numerous trips to the ortho/dentist--braces placement, extractions, extraction follow-ups, bent wire, etc... I can't imagine it would be worth the cost. Good luck!

I've only just had my first adjustment but my doctor extracted my second bicuspids (rather than the first) to (as she said) avoid a resulting flat face. It kind of scared me when she told me that. And those were some of my best-looking teeth (nice white fillings)!

How long is treatment: 1.5 to 2 years
Do you have to extract teeth? yes, 4 second bicuspids
How old are you? 42
What kind of braces? ceramic uppers and lowers
