Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi everyone I have been braces free for nearly 6 months now and have been cleared by the orthodontist to come back in a year... But I am paranoid that something is going to come apart... And go wrong... I am very careful to brush and floss and get cleans regularly... But getting into the orthodontis...

Hi I would defiantly ask ur orthodontist because I know with mine I had to have them removed before they would proceed with the braces My teeth were very impacted however and I had them quite young (I was 15 when my dentist first said they would need to be removed) I had all of mine removed and my b...

My ortho has just started me with an elastic to correct the midline drift that has become more noticeable since I had my braces he said when I see him in 4 weeks it should be heaps better... I only wear the elastic at night as it virtually wires ur mouth shut lol

Yer it will take longer than that to get used the braces and my dentist told me that it was normal to find it happening throughout the braces time because of the movement of ur teeth but hopefully yours will stop soon for u lol

Personally I can see why u wouldn't want surgery... I only had my wisdom teeth out and said not again if I can possibly help it... I have an overjet still and I am nearing the end of my treatment now it was 5mm to start and it is about the same after elastics (elastics were causing more issues than ...

I was also wondering about permanent retainers... My ortho will only give me perminent retainers as I have a lot of spacing... I will be getting them top and bottom as I still have an overbite due to the different sizes on my jaw bones and my other ortho not doing anything earlier Is it possible to ...

Ur ortho is the best person to answer ur question... I think u should just ask his opinion
I am no expert only having mine on for 2 days but mine arnt banded at all either so I don't know (mine tilt in towards my tounge) I am going to ask at my next appointment about it

Sounds like u have come a long way... Great work I don't have any other appliances but just the braces gave me a lisp although I did already have one... But saying that I have only had mine for like 2days and am getting used to them so I think it will take alittle practice but u will be fine Good lu...
