Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks for the info HeadGearJoe however it doesnt seem to be available in MA or NY (I'm in MA and my friend is in school in NY but may come back to MA after shes done).

Are any of you familiar with or members of any of the dentals plans available (SPAMPLAN, CAREington, NorthEast SouthEast Dental Plan ect..) in the US for people without dental insurance? Basically you become a member of this club, group, ect.. for a fee and you visit one of there listed providers wh...

yeah Diehard that does stink that you have to pay for refinments after all the money you spend to get the initial trays. :? Does it really cost the ortho that much more?? somehow I doubt it. If I remember correctly I get 1 refinement at no cost but then I think I too may have to pay after that. Hope...

Hi invisagirl, Thanks for the reply. Nice to know Im not alone :lol: . I have not had a refinement yet but my ortho and I had discussed it and my guess is most likely it will be happening soon. A couple tray back we talked about it but then the next tray fit like a glove so at this point hes keeping...

...I just feel like I've been stuck in such a rut lately. :x I'm coming up on 2 years of Invisalign, tray number 32 (for 2 more weeks, 5 for this one in total :( ) out of 55 and I'm just feeling like this is never going to end. I know there have been changes, I can see it in the pics and peope who h...

Merry Christmas to you as well!

It will be 2 years in March for me, maybe 1 more to go but who knows...

I have to go for cleaning 4 times a year while I have Invisalign, after Im done I'll go back to the normal 2 times a year. My dentist/ortho makes all his Invisalign patients go for the extra cleaning, my guess is that we're more are risk for cavities and plaque build-up since our teeth our encased i...

Hi jcdamon3, Congrats on getting your braces off, it must be very exciting for you! :D I myself have also noticed my teeth looking more transluscent/grey in places and after a brief moment of panic :shock: I've decided they must have always been that way and I'm just noticing it more now because I'm...

Hey Ive been wondering the same thing :lol: Good to here there are at least 3 of us still hanging around! Nothing to new going on with me, I put in a new set on Wednesday number 33. Just waiting to start seeing more movement in the front...People tell me they can see it but the mirror isnt showing m...

I have definitely noticed that my upper arch has widened as a result of the Invisalign. I was skeptical about what these plastic aligners could do as well but now I have the gaps (and today the pain!) to prove that they are in fact strong enough to move teeth. I haven't experiences a metal expander ...

Ok so I went in for my appointment yesterday after getting myself mentally ready for the new molds to be done (I really really hated getting those molds done first time around) and my ortho took a look my current aligner in my mouth and said well this look much much better than they did last time, l...

I had an appointment yesterday. The last time I went I had to step back a few trays because things weren't fitting as nicely as they should be, there are 4 teeth in a row that have space between them and the aligners, every other one fits like a glove. Yesterday he had me pop in #30 and said "W...

I'm in one of those moods today where Im thinking "when is this ever going to end!!" :? From the slow progress lately it seems like I'll be stuck away in some nursing home before this is finished! (I was hoping to be done by the time I turn 30 in March ) I'm on 29 on 55 - Quite the ways to...

My ortho gave me print outs of the "before and after" of the clin-check. Its a side shot so I can't tell what my smile will look like head on but its something at least. Tulip - Maybe your ortho can at least do the same and give you print outs, obviously you dont get to see things moving a...
