Metal Mouth Message Board

i never thought mine was going to fall either. It was jetting backwards and way high up there. But, as i found out, it will suddenly make an appearance one day, then all the hope and dispair will be gone. Keep hoping!!!

I haven't posted in a long time. so new updates- My exposed tooth has finally made it's appearance after 7 months of pulling and tugging. It was lateral and in my palate. My ortho switched my eye tooth and my cuspid around due to the way it was falling in place. A little reshaping at the end should ...

It's been just over a week since my surgery. The swelling is gone,i talk normally, and i hardly notice it. The pain lasted for about 4 days then it got dull and it officially stopped hurting completely just under the first week. Tough it out.
Best of luck on your surgery!

Wow....that is all i can say about this whole procedure. It was painful almost immediately afterward -thank god for pain meds! My stitches fell out yesterday ( a little earlier than they anticipated) but no bleeding so i guess it is ok. The roof of my mouth looks like a channel was dug into a hillsi...

I will keep that in mind ! Dont want to ruin this expensive smile !

Thank you! I did have a visit since this post and she agreed to let me keep them for now...unless they become a problem. So now i get to keep all wisdom teeth but i still have to go for my tooth exposure. That consult is today...hoping it is not as bad as i think.

Just got started on elastics yesterday - box shape from top left 4 to bottom 3 then across to top right 3 and bottom 3 but before that my ortho was looking at my progress and said that when i go to have my bottom wisdom teeth out and my exposure done for my top left cuspid that she wants my top left...

I have been filling my bottom lip up with Orajel LOL I don't they would appreciate a heating pad on my face at work lol
good suggestion though. I know the pain only lasts a couple of days...but these days are just too much sometimes.

I got my bottom brace on yesterday afternoon. Size .016 niti wire. My front bottom teeth hurt so bad, i was up all nite with the pain and no amount of tylenol or orajel helped. I know the smaller teeth have smaller nerve endings and can hurt more - but ....my word i didnt think it would be this bad....

I had a deep bite when I had my braces put on, no protrusions or anything like that. Now I have had the top braces on for 3 months and I now have an open bite and my left front/top is moving diagonally up when i look at it in the mirror. I go for my bottom braces tomorrow - wondering if anyone has h...

i started with a 014 heat wire. After that i moved to a 016 niti memory wire, graduated to an 018 niti memory wire. Only 3 months into treatment and I am already at the top of the size chain that fits in my ceramic brackets. I get my bottom ones on the 23rd - my bottoms hardly need movement just som...

wishing someone can help me out for this...... Anyone????

i have had mine for 3 months and i had dryness alot, drinking water is the best thing. There are still some days where dryness comes back and i drink water like there is no tomorrow. I had trouble for a few weeks trying to eat food and chew since my teeth weren't lining up anymore.I still have troub...

I have the same problem. My back teeth are really lose but my top wisdom teeth are being moved forward to replace molars i had that cracked and were pulled out years ago. Mine are super loose because they have no support around them.

Hi All! I just got my ceramic tops in February this year, getting my bottom metals in a couple more weeks. I have a missing cuspid ( it's hiding up in my palete) and I have a tooth that just will not turn - i think it is because of my cuspid hiding out blocking it from moving. I have to have tooth e...
