Metal Mouth Message Board

Sensodyne over here. Considering how many times I have to brush my teeth everyday, my dentist told me it was one of the most gentle tootpastes on the market therefore strongly recommends it to avoid enamel damage...

I love them too!

I had metal braces back in the day and being able to compare the two, Invisalign wins big time! So many people are just finding out that I wear braces and they are always so suprised when I tell them I've had them for a year already...

It's happening to me too! I asked my dentist about it and she said that my roots are very short, shorter than normal actually. When teeth move around after a certain extent of time, the roots are not ''grounded'' therefore teeth become loose. Until the treatment is completely over, in my case anyway...

What your orthodontist meant is making the difference between artificial sugar and natural sugar. The artificial sugar is the bad kind, the one that actually causes plaque and cavities.

I'm experiencing a little problem and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this...

I am so excited for you!! I can't wait to get there but I'm only getting my buttons in 2 weeks so I still have lloonngg way to go...

I get the feeling that yes, your treatment will last 22 weeks but afterwards, you'll go into a ''maintenance'' treatment with retainers for the remainder of the year...

Hi everyone! I had braces when I was 13 and now at 32, I started an Invisalign treatment 4 weeks ago. My treatment consists of 30 upper trays and 18 lower trays and the whole process should last from 18 to 24 months. Of course, I am not happy with the idea that I have to go through all this braces-r...

I am presently paying $7 000CAD for an 18-month treatment (18 Lower and 30 Upper) and 6 months of retainers...

But I agree, it probably depends on where you live, the types of dental problems you may have and respective ''maintenance'' treatments...

I'm on a 22-hour schedule too. Some days, I don't have for less than 23 hours and others, less than 20. I figure as long as 22 is the average, there shouldn't be a problem...

I've noticed a difference too. Actually, if I am not careful and don't pay attention, I bit my tongue.
