Metal Mouth Message Board

I'm having my braces removed tomorrow I still do have a tiny gap in my upper teeth smaller than 1mm maybe around 0.5mm neer my upper left canine. My teeth are bending inside just like yours, do you have pictures? I'm really excited and scared at the same time, I'm scared that my gap will go to my fr...

thanks!

sadly when I asked again my ortho said again that top and bottom should be removed together

Are there people here with bottoms removed first? I'm wondering because my bottom teeth are now close and straight, I want them removed but when I asked last time, my ortho told me that both upper and lower should be removed the same time.

mine's already going 32 months next session, I'm just upset why my ortho didn't use powerchains for the longest time

I already have 5 impacted teeth removed and then 4 pre-molars removed.

You have 34 teeth?

yes! my new ortho didn't believe me until she saw my x-ray

I had 4 premolars removed and people have been saying my face changed after a year of using braces! I looked like a monster before my extraction and before powerchains pulling my teeth :lol: https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/863042706972459008/hTGnMqa5_400x400.jpg I can't wait for them to be remo...

thank you SCeles33! sadly I can't stand braces anymore and want them removed after this and I don't ever want another procedure. I find braces to be uncomfortable and flossing daily with them on is unbearable :( I miss eating peanuts too! After months of insisting of closing the upper gaps my ortho ...

I will talk to her. I also have other gaps but not as bad as this one. I'm pretty bummed with how she's handling my teeth. I may sue her for what she's doing but I'll ask other orthos for input. Thanks!

I'm very unhappy with how my adjustments are going. https://i.imgur.com/C8wfwVS.jpg It has been 1+ years(since september 2017) for not wearing powerchains on my lower portion and this gap is betting bigger. I hate food getting stuck in between :( I feel like my dentist is prolonging my braces. I kee...

I'm not wearing any bands. a bit sad really because I think my ortho is taking her time and I don't know what to tell her anymore as I've already said I want to remove them ASAP.

noo... I don't want my face longer

thanks! I will inform her of the shaving as she didn't mention this. I am thinking of having gingivectomy because I have small teeth. I am really happy with how videos of myself now turn out. I powerlift and do weightlifting and post videos of my lifts and have been very confident now that my teeth ...

thanks! I'll be having my monthly adjustment tomorrow. The thing is she just keeps saying it's almost over for the past 10 months but last month she just told me that she wants to move my 1st molar closer and it will longer. (my 2nd molar doesn't even have a bracket?) I really don't want this becaus...

I don't think there's a problem with my bite. I am already happy with my teeth. Just the small gaps that I wish I wore power chains or elastics to get rid. I hate seeing no progress after almost 1 year of resting phase should have been closed already

she told me last january that it's almost finished. But now I just asked again and she told me that it'll take longer. :( She is going to have to move my 1st molar forward but I don't want this. Also wouldn't that create a gap in between my 1st and 2nd molar? Since I don't have braces on my 2nd molar.
