As the Board administrator, I want to make this perfectly clear: if I observe or am informed of continued instances of harrassment or disrespectful posts, PMs, or member emails, the offending parties will be banned from t...

Wow this is an interesting topic. I've never had a mouthwash result in stuff, but I haven't used the ones you guys are talking about.

Obviously an ingredient is reacting with the metal (that's my first guess).

Docs, do you have any clue about this stuff?
Should we write to Crest?
What should we do?

Hi to all new users!! :D As for all those suffering to eat, give it a little time and you'll start eating everything! I do! Except curry, i dont recomend that if you have ceramics and transparent ligatures! :P Take Care Puchi xx Oh yeah, I can attest to that. The curry ligature stains are the worst.

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out in my early 20s (so it was a long time ago), but I think it's done pretty much the same way today. All 4 of my wisdom teeth were impacted, and some of them were causing me headaches and jaw pain. I was put out for the surgery. I remember being drugged (not gassed) ...

Yes, that Yahoo Group site is quite amazing and extensive!

Our pediatric dentist referred us to the ortho to correct my younger daughter's crossbite, even though she is only 8 and hasn't lost many baby teeth. The thinking is: it's better to get the expansion done asap before the palate begins to fuse and the adult teeth begin to come down. You can always as...

Martha,

Was your consult with an orthodontist or a dentist who sometimes does ortho work?

You might want to ask your ortho or your regular dentist to help demonstrate how to use the scaler properly so you don't damage your gums. I wanted to get something like this and my regular dentist talked me out of it -- even though I promised to be a good girl and not get too aggressive with it! :r...

Does no one have anything to say on this subject, or are you all being shy? As long as you're not profane, you can post your replies! Surely at least one person out there has had to deal with this rather tender subject....

Just for the record, I can get unscented unflavored clear dental wax for anyone who doesn't like mint or mint scent -- in any quantity you need. Just drop me an email over at DentaKit. Actually, I can get people just about anything they want via a special order. I'm happy to do the research for you ...

Tim,

How much did the company say it would cost retail? Yes, it does sound interesting.

Hey Dodger, one more question.

How did you do your animations (which are fantaistic, BTW)? Others might want to do something like this. Did you need special software or did you use something commonly available?

Dodger, Wow, I hadn't looked at your post and story until today. You must be so over the moon with the way you now look....you handsome devil, you! :wink: Thank you so much for sharing your story and your photos. It is truly an amazing transformation that will be an inspiration to many other readers...

Generally you can get good results with an "orthodontic-cut" toothbrush. This type of brush has shorter bristles in the middle. When you look at it head-on, the bristles look like a "V" (see my poorly crafted example, below ;-). They aren't especially hard or anything. lll lll ll...

Wow, I'm amazed that it took so long...but good for you for hanging in there! How much longer does your ortho think you'll need to have the braces on after the tooth is in all the way? No doubt, you may need to wear them for a while to ensure that the tooth doesn't retract or anything. Anyway, congr...
