Metal Mouth Message Board

Thank you for everyones comments. I went to see a local ortho near my home. He says there are minor things that could be changed given the fact that I have paid so much, and also he thinks my bite is off. I am going to ask what he thinks about having ceramics on for a few weeks or months.....whateve...

ok so please bear with me as I stumble over how to explain this without correct terminology. * My chipped front tooth is tilted. My ortho has told me that although he can straighten this tooth he cannot do anything about the tilt (because I opted to have lingual) Is tis true??....Chip will be fixed ...

I cant for the life of me figure out how to post photos on here!

Thank you for your reply. I noticed movement in the first 2 weeks. I had bad crowding and a tilted front tooth, I am sure you only have minor straightening if you only require them for such a short time. Don't be discouraged, I am happy with all the progress I have made, just not 100%. I'll try get ...

Hi Everyone, Haven't visted in over a year! My story is in here somewhere in Braces Stories. Cut a long story short, have had upper lingual and lower ceramics for just over 2.5 years. Am getting them off in 5 days. I am not 100% happy. Oh dammit I just realised I dont have my photos with me! When i ...

Sharp- What did you end up doing? Let us know.Hope it all goes well.

Where do you work??? ;) Stuff them, you will be looking hotter than ever in a few months time! Maybe suggest a few of them get braces themselves, or to the seriously ugly: a nose job/ lipo! Im sure it will wear thin in the next few weeks and the idiots will forget you are even wearing them. Its sad ...

I explained all of this to my ortho. He said that i had the wrong idea if i thought he would be changing the wire all the time. I told him about his forum and that alot of you have had your wires changed a few times in the past 6 months....He said if all goes smoothly that i will be changing my wire...

Im so curious about this whole wire changing! We all seem to be experiencing different methods used by our orthos. I had my appointment yesterday, i went in whinging about how thin my upper lingual wire is. It comes out of place every time i eat! I was told it isnt going to be changed for months...?...

NO. GO SEE SOMEONE ELSE ASAP. Do think about it just do it. I am no expert but they are not even 80% yet. Bite is off and upper and some lower teeth are not straight.

Goodluck, and dont feel embarrassed or guilty leaving your ortho to go elsewhere.

Hi All, Havent checked in for a while now. A few changes have happened. Tads no longer hurt, barely notice them. Last week I had these plastic things attached to them (great explanation!) Finally got my lower ceramic wire changed. I was surprised that I havent been in pain at all. My upper teeth are...

Wire came off again. Over it. Boo.
