Metal Mouth Message Board

there is a scientific reason for the x on ligatures...as far as I know there is a bit more pressure + soemthing else....but I do not know what. BTW I made a very similar 'stupid' thing this summer..... I was shaking and having a high temperature all due to lack of water!!! so drink 2liters (4 pints)...

A very quick update. I think my replacement ortho will be my ortho now….. So I had an appointment last Saturday (pictures later). And on the 18th of November my bottoms should be off as there are ready. The gap that was huuuuge is much smaller now so even when it will be there I do not mind – I ...

Thanks Karen!!! We will see, as on the last appointment replacement ortho was saying about getting them off. And it was more like she will do it…..and I really do not like the way how she is using tools. With my ortho I was not feeling any thing. It was just perfect, but with this one I feel whate...

Hello, It’s a long time since I posted…but there were couple of reasons: first my internet at home was not working, second I got quite upset with the whole journey. So I am now after 1 year and 3 months, hopefully 3 months left. My ortho is on maternity leave since Feb. – was suppose to be bac...

Clo I was just about to write you about St. Louc or other Univ. hospital (sorry for spelling I am not Belgium). But I see you will go there! that's good!! I cross my fingers that you will get what you want from those docs close to so many difficult cases.

Thanks for your replays!! I am glad that there are people with similar situation out there….well at least it ensured me. The gap is quite big and the braces should be off in 3 months so I do not expect any significant change. Especially when once it was already closed – powerchain- however then ...

Hello, I am in the last months of treatment and…I have some problems. Beside of the fact that my doc is still on the maternity leave (see my story if you would like to read more). I will probably get off my braces by December and the current doc said that the gap that I still have after extraction...

my ortho said, 1,5 year and 16 adjustments.... I'm 9 months into the treatment and I am after 9 adjustments, but I am not sure if I am on schedule or not....

WOW, that's a lot of progress! your ortho is a magician;-)

yes:-) I have them, you can have a look on my story for pictures if you have a question you can just ask me:-)

I love them, the ligatures stain a bit..but after a while you know what to awoid.

Flora there is deffenitly a movment happening there. Do not worry, you still do not have bottom braces...which means that your lowers are in not the planned position:-) btw sometimes it get worst before geting better, and sometimes your ortho needs to move things in wrong postion to make some space ...

Thanks for all the warm words:-) It's exactly what I am thinking, she should be at the same technical level, it's just I am a bit more difficult with doctors ...but I guess everyone does have a bit of this? :roll: Though there is one thing that botters me...but I guess there is always a moment when ...

Hello:-) It has been a looooong time since I posted, but I was quite busy with my work, holidays etc. So finally I can updated on my progress: Adjustment 7th (January) We had some more time to talk, so my ortho said that she is working until the end of Feb. and then she will be on maternity leave fo...
