Metal Mouth Message Board

I am a girl, and sadly I started dipping snuff when I was younger thinking it would be cool. I am trying to decide between braces and invisalign. I am 27, have a moderate deep bite I was told could be fixed with invisalign along with crowding on bottom.

I am working on stopping dip, but it will be a slow process. Has anyone here tried to dip in invisalign (or braces)?

Thanks

Julia

That seems like a very bad idea. I would imagine that it would not only severely stain your teeth from being held against them in the Invisalign trays for hours, but I think it would also really stain or even damage your Invisalign. Maybe nicotine patches would be a good idea because I can't really see any dentist or orthodontist being alright with you chewing tobacco while in either type of braces.

I am trying to quit, but it isn't happening right away. I know it is gross but anyone ever do it?

My uncle chewed "snoose" he called it. He would spit it out the front window of our car as we barreled along, and it would come straight back in the back window and hit me in the face. I was about 8 years old, I suppose. He was actually my great uncle but he wasn't so great....
