Metal Mouth Message Board

So I have TADS with my invisalign and that requires two metal buttons on my teeth, well I lost a button yesterday (Sat!) So I cant get a hold of anyone until tomorrow to replace it which means no rubber bands until then. This is the second time this happened to me, why dont these things stay on my t...

Elastics are kinda a pain in the caboose... lol. I have TADS which are actually screwed into my jaw. I have rubber bands that go OVER my invisalign so to eat I have to take out the rubber bands then the invisalign. Im supposed to eat with my invisalign in but I cant do it! I have tried so many diffe...
