Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi, I am currently having Invisalign, am in London too. I recommend you go to a couple of consultations. Depending on how serious your problem is (is it just cosmetic or is your bite off for example?) I would recommend you go to an Orthodontist rather than a Dentist that offers Invisalign. I seen bo...

thanks myhollywoodsmile - and maybe I should move! endless summer, pool.. beach.. sounds all too nice to be true..

Hmm if its just one tooth that needs fixing, have you thought about Invisalign? Invisalign Express even, that's not so expensive. Also, they do Invisalign consultations free of charge at most places, give it a try.

Hey, so its nearly summer, at least here in the UK :D ! Some of my favourite things to do in this season is going to the park, having picnics, going to the lido.. eating Ice cream outside.. but its going to be rather difficult with Invisalign.. anyone got any tipps, tricks or advice what to do.. For...

actually i think they are better already :D i gave up the green mouth wash (have yet to buy/find a replacement that doesnt stain), and brushed them with an extra whitening tooth paste for a bit, in adition to using a sensitive whitening one regularly, so that does the trick for me it seems. as i don...

Hi,

I assume that the mouthwash i was using stained my ligs. Does anyone know which one doesn't stain? Maybe the "stay white" ones, or special orthodontic mouthwashes, like Boots here in the UK are selling?

thanks!

Hmm i could try to get an appointment, but not very optimistic! Whilst brushing my teeth I was thinking maybe its the bright green mouth wash that i use that is staining my ligs? i have started to use it after every time i am brushing, so about 3 times a day.. maybe i should try one of this "st...

thanks for your replies..
yep, got clear brackets, believe my ligs were white or clear, i could not notice them until now (2 months in)
hmm baking soda? worth a try. anyone tried any particular brand of whitening toothpaste that worked?

Hi, noticed that my ligs have become yellowish.. :( (dont even know why I hardly drink coffee or much tea, same with currys etc.) my next ortho appointment is in 1.5 weeks, but can i do anything until then to make them look whiter maybe? have an event coming up this weekend.. thanks in advance for a...

doesn't Emma's post sound if she would work there maybe??

thanks for your replies.. my treatment is well underway already (original post was in December) went with an Ortho in the end, and so far, so good!

I really don't think that's correct! Not sure if that is an official source, but have a look here for example: http://www.bos.org.uk/orthodonticsandyo ... thodontist

I do know the qualifications of my Ortho as well.

So my advice to anyone reading this is firstly, pick your dentist (there are no orthos in the UK) very carefully. thanks a lot for your advise! I want veneers as well when I finish my treatment, but as i want to whiten them before I need to wait until I get my braces off on the lowers anyway, but I...

I have seen a poster of it at my ortho, its http://www.acceledent.com/
but I am not sure in what case it is used. They didn't offer it to me as an option.

Hi,
I am on tray 1, and am I bit impatient.. can't wait to be able to change to tray 2, 3, etc! From what number of tray could you see a difference in your teeth?

thanks
