Metal Mouth Message Board

Ok, I won this last, so I will start a new one. It's the "I Got More Metal In My Mouth Than You" Contest. I want to pick two others and then myself to see who the winner is. I want to ask Meryaten......and iBorg to join in with me to see who is gonna win. So lets hear what you actually hav...

I want the braces back on............. the roots of my teeth hurt so bad. I called DM to see what he thought, and he said I was probably clenching and grinding again. So, He asked me to come in on Tuesday to see what next action will be taken. A one piece retainer..... like a bionator was mentioned....

I will say this about the Invisalign trays....... they make my teeth hurt worse than having the braces on. The roots hurt, and it never got this bad with braces at all, it was the sores in my mouth and cheeks. And also the dreaded lisp. It is severe. I guess time will tell......

Well, My time in braces came to an end today very unexpectedly. I went in for an adjustment and DM asked if I would like my braces off early. He talked briefly that now I had gotten my molars where they needed to be and all the gaps mostly closed....... that he wanted to use me as a guinee pig. He a...

Hi all, been really busy and havn't been on much......but now i'm back with a big question. I go next Tuesday for my next adjustment and i am seeing one thing that is disturbing. It seems as though my bite is narrowing. And not just the top, it's the bottoms too. I first noticed it when I was closin...

Gotta add my two cents, for a good laugh........... Since being braced last Decenber, both of my kids, Duncan(5), and MacKenzie(3) who both have the hereditary gap in the front and have went with me to the ortho, say they need them and want them. My ortho actually let them stand close and watch and ...

Ok, I'm starting this post because of my own stupidity and laughter at myself......I would like to hear some of your eating anecdotes and if you have had a good 'knee slapper' at yourself as I have. ...........To start, I absolutely love Hot Wings.....and I havn't had any since my brace day for fear...

Hey everyone, Sorry I havn't been around much. I been really busy working on a few new car projects. There really isn't alot to update about, just that my mouth seems to be levelling out, and now nothing seems to fit. I can definetly see that elastics are soon to come. But also, from what he said be...

Meloho, I think this may be due to the sudden change. Bear with it, but if it continues, by all means, contact your ortho. To help with the pain and discomfort, use a hot compress. I myself take a large dish towel, and put it in a pot of boiling water. Let it cool enough for you to hold it in your h...

Well, I guess I got it fixed. After some shaving and contouring, and a mold, DM decided to speed things up. He said he only wanted to used the bite plate as a last resort. So he put on a rectangular wire on top and bottom. He told me this would put me way ahead of schedule if I thought I could deal ...

Thanks Ken, Not a fix per say, but they took the bracket off completely and left it off until next Tuesday. DM wasn't there this afternoon so the tech did this. She put on the schedule for Tuesday to get a mold for a bite plate. I ask her if it would be removeable, but she said not likely, since I a...

Ok, So not a good night last night. I bit the bracket off on the bottom that DM re-positioned. It came off with a loud pop, and then I was wide awake for the rest of the night. I have to go in this afternoon to get it fixed and I am gonna have to ask about him doing something to prevent that from ha...

Ok, I had my first official appt yesterday......WWWOOOHHOOOOO!!!!! No more HG! I'm still trusting with my tongue and he thinks I may be pursing my lips together in my sleep pushing them in on the top and bottom. My teeth are actually fairly straight now. I just have alot of leveling to do, and still...

WOW Pooh!!!

Your teeth look awesome.......... You have had alot of change since you got them..... You are gonna have a 'Movie Star Smile' very soon....

Yea, along with the stoppers, they can also bend the end of the wire so that it can't poke you. This is what my ortho did for me. And it works. It never hurts to ask if they will do it!!
