Metal Mouth Message Board

If you are having questions, you need to reach out to the dentists. Many times, it is not included in the price. With that said, you need to make sure you get the results you want. You have already spent some money for the initial treatment, so it is worth your while to finish it.

A lot of times, this will occur because they need to make space to correct other problems. As time passes, it will put them back together in the proper place, much like others have mentioned. I know that it seems a little weird, but there is only so much space!

This does sound like a much more complex case than this treatment can fix. Ortho has come a long way, and it might be time to rethink your treatment options. I know everyone hates surgery, but it could be the long term fix that you are looking for. It seems like I see a lot of people who are constan...

The first time I had braces, I wish I would have worn my retainer more consistently. It's possible that I would not have had to get them again. However, I don't think they had fixed retainers back then. I am going to opt for the fixed retainer as it is apparent that my teeth will shift back to posit...

I am in a similar situation with needing an implant. The bone graft has been described as a pretty easy procedure, but I'm still a little worried. Cosmetically you can't see the missing tooth unless you are looking from the right place. However, eating on that side has been a challenge!

I actually prefer not to have it prescribed! I felt like over the counter medicine and ice worked well enough. I had a really good experience with those two, and if I have any other procedures I will be repeating that practice!

Moving teeth takes time, and it is unfortunate that you feel like you have already wasted some. You might consult some other orthodontists to see what they say. Everyone is different, and maybe it will just take a little longer than hoped. Your teeth have been moving, so that is at least a positive!

This is a nice break. I'm like you and would have just bought a new one! Did you have to register it in order for her to know who was associated with those numbers?

I'm not sure of your procedure, but couldn't they prescribe you some stronger medicine? I also used ice, when I had my wisdom teeth taken out years ago. I'm sure that wasn't as painful as your condition, but it was enough for me!

I have not seen these. Are they limited to certain areas of the US or world? To me, it seems like they would be extremely uncomfortable! Wouldn't your tongue hurt and it be harder to keep your mouth clean?

This is kind of odd, but I don't think it could dehydrate you. The only thing I could think of is that you might not be drinking as much as you think due to sensitivity??? I could see Invasalign being that way though...it's like a mouth guard.

I too have facing the same thing. I got mine on about 6 weeks ago. However, I can tell the difference from the first week, and it is lessening. This is the second time at this, but this is definitely worse than the first time!
