Metal Mouth Message Board

I can't really tell what you are talking about, maybe have a clearer picture? It looks pretty straight to me, but if you are looking for perfection I think over time it will move a little anyway however, since you are paying a lot of money I would do what you think is best. I'll probably wait until...

Well you said it yourself, they can't see it until you tell them to carefully examine them. I guess I am not sure of the terminology of your dentist and what "piling" is so I can't really give an opinion of that - but as far as achieving perfection, I guess wanting that is reasonable when...

People around me first tell me my teeth look sraight but when I tell them take a second look, then they are able to see what I see after carefully examing them. Does anybody else see what I se...

My orthontist asked me to sign a consigment at last visit so at next appoitment she can remove my braces. But my 2 teeth did not look symmetrical to others. She told me she can do as I want and move the teeth but it will require more piling down the edges because the shape of teeths. She already che...

i didn't have any black triangle shown in the 4 spaces (upper teeth) already. Was she predicting that I'll have black triangles within next 5 week? As for the bottom teeth, I do have a huge black triangle, this space is huge enough to view my tongue through the hole. And she did not do anything abou...

My orthdontist 'polished' between my teeth with something like a sandpaper between my teeth. She went ahead and did that for about 4 spaces between teeths, and one of them she grind it down hard and my head moved into direction she was going back and forth. :evil: :evil: And then she put regular flo...

Your teeth looks really nice! Congrad. Is your face muscle getting used to the new teeth structure and looks easy when you smile? I too have overbite I don't know if you remember.. there's only couple months left for me and my overbite improve a lot!! but the I gained these deep lines around my mout...

I'm also curious about what your orthodontist is specifically asking from you at this point, especially with only 3 months to go. The major movement and tooth placement is set and to undo any of that would mean many more months in treatment. The only "fixes" that come to mind are things l...

So at my last appoitment they put in the thickest wire to set everything into my bone. My orthdontist told me I'm looking about 3 months to debann and now it's time for me to speak up what type of smile I want. I began having my braces to fix my overbite and had 4 molar extractions (beside my 4 wisd...

Hello Misssmiley~
Do you mind showing us side profile? for overjet and overbit progress!

To be more specific with 'Last Bracket', usually people get all their teeth glued with bracket except for last 4 molars. Orthdontist put the metal band on your moalars and teeth behind the molarband are naked til the end.. When teeth are moving in directions, 4 naked teeth will need to follow and be...

I got my 4 premolars removed in one day.. took only about 20 mins for the precedure.. and about 15 min prior to numb my mouth.. I didn't feel any pain though I was shaking and had no control with my chin.. The nurse hold my chin down while the surgeon pulled each of my teeth.. He pulled my 4 widdom ...

At my last adjustment my orthodontist told me that after next adjustment I'll have my last bracket installted... And I asked back what's that mean and the staff told me that the last bracket is the attaching bracket on molar behind the teeth with molarband.. and getting my teeth straighten out.. Doe...

I don't know how tight is your elastic, but in your pictre you have your jaw open.. Do you talk normal and open your jaw when you talk with your elastics on? Mine is 1/8 triangle and 3/16 between two teeth. So there's too much force,, it feels like elastics will pull my teeths out when I talk with j...
