Metal Mouth Message Board

Im interested in trying this out but has anyone had experiance of using it? Does it make teeth shades whiter ? How long does results last for? Are their risks involved? Im not interested in Zoom whitening as i prefer the take home option, as you can take the syringes and whiten them at home.

Only drink water with it in you wont have to take it out, thats what my ortho told me and thats what i did when i had the inman aligner and it was fine.

Im happy with how straight my top arch is now but my front teeth dont touch my bottom teeth anymore. When i bite together my molar on my left side touches and nothing else. Anyone know what can be done about this issue? I was Inman Aligner braced for my top teeth not my bottom as they wee all straig...

After finishing with my braces and now onto my retainer for the past 4 months...my top front teeth still cant touch my bottom.
I thought over time they will eventually be able to touch but i still cant.
Anyone had the same problem?

It will be unstable at the moment but it as time goes on (providing you wear it consistently) it should become stable i guess. My ortho told me to wear my clear retainer at night too but i was worried about my teeth shifting, so im gonna wear it full time for 6 months then a nights after. So far ive...

It took my a week to get my essix retainer after i finished with my brace...but lucky for my i had the Inman Aligner removable brace so my ortho just told me to wear it for an extra week till your retainer comes so your teeth dont shift.

I have a small hole on the back of the retainer on the bottom....is this ok to still wear or is it better to get it replaced?

Ive been wearing my essix retainer full time for 11 weeks so far, and i look after it well by cleaning it with retainer brite.
However, today ive noticed i have a small hole at the bottom of the back teeth...will it still work as normal? or is it better to be safe and buy another one?

I am wearing a retainer currently but my ortho has said if your retainer breaks or cracks you can use your clear aligner as a replacement so your teeth wont move. Recently my Clear aligner has only cracked right at the back on the bottom tooth. My question is if i did have to use this a a replacemen...

Can someone explain to me what each of them are?

Ive got my essix retainer today and my ortho told me to wear it just at night time every night for the first 3 months and then switch to 2/3 nights per week? :? Shouldnt i be wearing it full time day and night for the first 3 months? :shock: Should i ignore what he said and wear it full time for 3 m...

My ortho done final trimming but i feel hes took too much off one of my front teeth
He took my impressions on the same day so im collecting my retainer next week so is it too late to tell him my concerns?

Does anyone know the best way to clean your retainers? I have finished with my brace and i have got 3 clear retainers.
I just rinse them and brush them under cold water however it still has a bad smell and it has white patches and looks dirty.

Yeah thats what i thought may have happened but when i asked my ortho he said it was because your teeth have moved to there final position. Which is good as im happy with their final position :) Im going to be on to 3 clear aligners for a final touch of movement, does your 3rd clear aligner act as y...

The last couple of days my back spring keeps clipping off my composite fillings, i dont know why
Has anyone got any idea why this keeps happening? Its not becuase my IA is loose as my ortho has really tightened it up at my last visit.
