Metal Mouth Message Board

It means how much money you owe them, but dont worry unless you are like months behind because they let you pay it month by month; no credit checks or anything needed.

You will get there, my only question is why the canines for extractions? Its like one of the most obvious extractions, premolars are so much less obvious, which is why they are way more typical. I didn't get that choice. Like explained in my post above, I had the right-side canines removed to balan...

How wiuld you compare the two? Im kinda curious because i should be done in September, it was gonna be august, but they wanted to increase the space i had for my front tooth so its enough for an implant (talking a really small difference between the space i had and what they wanted it to be, somethi...

Im going to be done soon, in September they said (if nothing pushes it back further, was originally gonna be done in August), but then ive got 2 implants to pay for somehow as i have a front tooth missing and a molar, both on top.

Then i will finally be fully done.

They took about 2 hours to put my braces on top and bottom.

I suppose it would depend a lot on what you want at the end and what they say should be a part of your treatment, like . Like if you possibly need extractions or surgery as part of your treatment and if maybe you cant/dont want to deal with certain things or how good you want your result to be. I di...

24 months, my sentence is gonna go a little over that, vut at least im really close to the end.

Fast systems are not usually a good option because they try to make your front teeth look good and then you are done; make sure you are gonna be satisfied if you keep going this route, and make sure you aren't trying to get 2 years of work done in 6 months.

I only did 2 because surgery and extractions were not a part of my treatment, so I didn't have any tough decisions to make. A lot of Orthodontics offices have websites and there are lots of places online where people post reviews, so you can use those resources to do some research and slim it down t...

It seems odd to have them on every bracket, unless what you have are power chains, which look like rubber bands chained together and are used to close spaces regardless of if you have Self Ligating braces, or traditional braces.

Well, my end date got pushed back from August to September (if nothing else happens to push it back further) as the Ortho wanted to increase the space for the front implant slightly. So hopefully next appointment on August 1st will be a powerchain and if needed a stronger wires to finish up, and the...

I'm missing an incisor/Premolar and I could have gone the route to get the space opened and get an implant, but I already need 2 implants for much more noticeable teeth, so I choose to go with what my Ortho decided and just got the gap closed. Realistically nobody besides you or a Dentist/Ortho will...

Last pic before my appointment on Tuesday, I feel like I really may be done in August, but I'll let you guys know when I have a debrace date.

Glad to hear; I started with a bad Anterior Open Bite as well as a crossbite, I'm nearly done with braces and hope I don't have any problems in retention.
