Metal Mouth Message Board

I'm also another with a baby tooth as well. Mine's my right canine. My dentist originally pushed the implant and the spacing to prepare was the main reason he saw for braces. I did stress at my ortho consult that I didn't want the implant if I didn't have to. He rather agreed. 6 months into treatmen...

I had an appointment last month and was told that possibly this next would be ready for impressions. Lig color choices was purple & gold for fraternity colors. Today was impressions day. Yea they did happen. The mold stuff is indescribable and oh so disgusting. I remembered to breath through my ...

Well Dec wasn't the last. The ortho decided he changed his mind on leaving the spaces..so I got a powerchain on the upper to close all those spaces left. I got a green powerchain with the red/green on the bottom. He did say it should be about 3 more appointments. The result of the powerchain did rem...

Oops on the dupe..getting system errors with the boards so we'll see if this'll post. Couldn't edit the last to stick this in. No mention that next month is the last. I thought I heard the comment of perfect teeth. They are pretty good. There was just one surprise. In the past visits he was going to...

Perio: Last month I had my 3 month perio visit. It was rather confusing. He did check a few more teeth than the prior visit with the one instrument. The confusing part was him stating that there was recession but it was the same as the last visit. I didn't correct him that at the last visit he said ...

Yes it's certainly exciting to find out what is left to be done. I'm still a bit skeptical that it'll be done in December. I think I'm bracing (ha) myself to expect one more month. Which is still good. I was even happy at the year and a half. The girl at this appt did ask if I thought it's gone by f...

Today the appointment went well. This one was rather quick. Back to the girl who did my powerchains. She was rather impressed with the changes I've had since she last saw me. To her the space in the back is good. Though I'm not too sure what she means..maybe that my back molars have moved up and awa...

No more ties. I can floss without issue now. Ortho put on braces to my back lower molars. Not sure why I originally thought he meant molar bands. He had the discussion of what to do in front of me with the assistant. That was good as I got to hear the reasons. Whether I remember is up to me. Minor i...

When I've first met a guy, I didn't even notice teeth. The only time I really noticed teeth was after a few dates or bad hygiene. I certainly didn't not see someone just because of their teeth as I hope no one would of mine. Prior to getting braces I had the attitude that if Madonna can have a gap b...

The last few days my teeth have been a bit sore. There has been movement as there's part of the wire on both sides poking at the end. It's good there's movement as I have noticed the gap in front of my babytooth is less..but it does a good job of poking me in general. Past months I had tried to put ...

As of today here's a recent pic now that I found my camera again.

I only had the powerchain for one month..starting the adjustment after the uppers were put on. After the month or so it closed most of it. I'm losing the memory at the moment but I think i still had a bit left after the powerchain was removed. The following month it was closed. It's a for sure for m...

Now I'm up to date. Since the last appointment and to today the open bite where the front teeth meet is gone. Seems to be meeting correctly..sides are another story but still meeting where they didn't really before. Before the sides the front met but the back didn't. I'm still doing a happy dance th...

The next day I had my appointment with the periodontist. First time ever going. After he checked about 2 teeth for pockets and recession..seeing none actually it became thought that maybe he assumed my dentist only was recommending the appointment just because I had braces. The appointment became ra...

This appointment made me livid with the ortho. In his brief moment in the beginning he rather flippant and quick to say that in his recommendation he sent to my dentist that he said he'd want my baby tooth the same size as the other side. No explanation more rather nothing. I have to get more detail...
