Metal Mouth Message Board

I also hate my arch..way to narrow and more narrow than before I had braces. Too much buccal corridor showing. That's the space between sides of teeh and mouth when smiling.

I hate it !

Don't feel bad I'm in the same boat. Had braces on almost 4 years and had them removed 2 months ago. I not pleased at all ! Midline is way off by almost 1 whole tooth ..top midline is off and so is the bottom...still don't have a Class 1 bite. Top canines are also off. I'm giving myself a break of o...

WOW Very nice

I use hostgator and never had a problem but the again my site isn't as big as yours. Here's a great forum where you CAN ask questions about different hosts and what's even better the host owners have their own section to answers questions.

My braces are going to be removed next month so I asked what type of retainer's they use.

I was told I'm getting 2 sets ..one set of essix and one set of hawleys.

They do it this way so in case something happens to one we will have a backup set.

Anyone else get 2 sets ?

Thanks

"the lower arch will move faster because it is less firmly anchored" The upper arch is more porous then the lower arch.Lower arch is much more solid as it does all the chewing /grinding and that's the way they are and need to be that way. Lower teeth move faster due to the fact the lower a...
