Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks for the response...and I apologize for not making myself clear....its not the two back teeth.... But the 3rd and 4th teeth next to the one with molar bands. I'm a year into my treatment n it just seems odd that those two teeth in the back on both side is not tied.... Wouldnt it bend the wire ...

I had an adjustment last week and just noticed that two upper teeth on both side did was not tied with either rubber band or wire ties....is that normal?

I use crest pro health and its working fine for me. But I also brush with a whitened tooth paste once a week.

Yes its normal.... Things r moving along....no worries.

ummm how about... Hey ortho lady, may I record my adjustment?..... She might think u r trying to save evidence against her lol

Your two front teeth looks fine but what do I know. Most definitely your wire got straighter... So there has to be some movement. 26 months?.... Eeeek... It took me 7 months to get to where Ur at and I was quoted at 24 months lol...so i got 17 more months to go... I say urs gonna take around 17 mont...

This was how my rotation went...1 month...nothing....2nd month nothing... 3 rd month nothing.... Than BAM! It moves on the 4 th month..

Jeeeeeze..... For the rest of our life?..... Hmmmmm but I only sleep 4 hours a day

I see movement on the left side of the pic....but r u sure Ur not biting extra hard on that side? LOL

Well anyways let me tell u there's really is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. My teeth was totally j...

I've used wax only on the first day because the tech told me to.... Found it annoying so I never used it again.... Poking pain lasted for one week..mouth toughen up ... Now it feels normal.... I look forward for the poking pain lol...cause that's where the tooth moved..

Hi Lynn, don't worry... It will definitely get better lol. I to had those molar bands cutting up my tongue... I was going to give it two weeks to get better...if it didn't than i was going to tell them to do something about it cuz i can't be living with this thing cutting up the side of my tongue......

Woot woot.... It's nice to see there's other people in the suck it up club.... I swear to u.... If u let your own body get use to the pain.... The months ahead will be a piece of cake.... Our body really does has the power to adapt to things to make us feel better... Just let it do it
