Metal Mouth Message Board

Thank you very much PrairieWinter, PaulInc, John37 and Wobblydeb ! All your information and experiances were very helpful to me and I now feel more reassured! Also, yes you were probably right about the IPR, 3mm would have been a bit extreme for my front two teeth! So thats taken a lot of worrying o...

Helloo everyone! I haven't posted on here in a little while, but i've just had my last appointment with my ortho (for the Clincheck) before I get my very own Invisalign! Im so excited but nervous at the same time. Watching my Clincheck video really had me determind to start my treatment as soon as p...

Hey PaulInc sorry I couldnt reply sooner, had a busy weekend, I was actually telling all my friends about Invisalign when I was out! Turns out most of them have had braces before, and they thought it was great that I was getting them. One of my friends actually have recently got traintracks, which m...

Ohhh I see! I've always wondered haha! And yeah I heard about the cold air part, I think someone else mentioned it being really painful, it might have been you on another topic, can you explain what its like? I dont think my teeth are THAT sensitive, like I can bite into icecream and I wont get that...

Yeaah I understand exactly what you mean about being 'aware' they are there, but not exactly self concious. Because they dont exactly stand out from a distance or anything - they are see through haha. And the people il be chatting with face to face with, il have probably told anyway! Your right! Ahh...

I just watched those videos! Thank you for posting them they are soo helpful, its great when people go out of their way to help others like that, because we only hear it from Invisaligns point of view or the orthos, but hearing it from the patients point of view - theres always a lot more to it! Sha...

Ahh I see! Thats an idea then, I mean ive seen some peoples videos on youtube of their treatment, the process of it and how they feel, im gunna see if theres any videos of people getting IPR done haha! I cant really imagine what it'll be like.. I would have thought someone sawing into your teeth wou...

Wobblydeb : Ohh I see, I think I'll end up having to get the same.. because my upper and lower teeth arnt quite aligned at the front, the two front bottom teeth arnt in the same place as the front top teeth.. which kinda sucks.. what do you think the process will be for me? im freaking out now lol ...

PaulInc: Thats interesting! And I totally agree, during treatment if I wanted to go out and have a drink with my friends every so often, it would be best to leave the aligners in, that way I wouldnt be effecting the process of straightening my teeth. Theres so many people using Invisalign, some for...

Thank you VERY much Meryaten , Lilypad , Lomdogs and Wobblydeb ! I really appreciate you posting me your advice and experiances its very kind of you! I can now see that more problems can occur to some people than others, but at the end of the day you just have to be patient, because its not forever ...

All the information you've given me is very helpful, I wasnt expecting everything I asked to be answered! You...

Thank you very much PaulInc ! That information is very useful and exactly what I wanted to hear! Scary, but good.. but in that case she better have a steady hand haha! I have a 4mm overbite you see. But my ortho told me if I wanted the perfect bite, id have to get two extractions. If not, then I can...

Haha thank you :) and thank you for your reply also! wow thats awesome! I cant wait to see my clincheck, I bet its amazing to see your teeth slowly moving into place, knowing they'll look like that when your finished. Invisalign in three weeks.. I bet your so exited! And yeah iv done absolutly looad...

Sorry, also.. I was just wondering about Invisalign in general? Such as: Can you drink alcohol? (even if its through a straw) Is it hard to brush your teeth because of the aching? Do the attachments stay on till the very last day of treatment? Do you have to change eating habbits? Too painful for ce...

Hello Everybody :) Im a newbie, im hoping that you can help me get together some facts about Invisalign. I went for my consultation yesterday, it went great and my ortho said that I was a good candidate for this, my next appointment will be for an xray and moulds. I know, I have a while to go.. but...
