Metal Mouth Message Board

Well I get my six-month smiles off in five days, my dentist who is Dr. Morrison from the Morrison dental group in Virginia has been absolutely wonderful, they have an office in Chincoteague Virginia and I have seen him once every two weeks. He and his staff have been great. I can't believe how much ...

I just got six month smiles 6 days ago, I don't know if I'll ever open my mouth again. I hope these things work QUICK. I thought I didn't care what anybody thought, But I am being very conscious of who I am around. I hope it works well I have read everything I possibly could on the Internet about s...

Can I ask how you go in with the cleaning of your teeth? I am jut about to get mine in the next two weeks and was wondering whether I will still be able to use my electric toothbrush?? I use an electric toothbrush all the tim, I find it easier than a regular toothbrush, good luck with them. I wish ...

I have had my third adjustment, my bite changes just about every day. My mouth was very small up top and very much " V " shaped and bottom was overcrowded with the front three protruding out, both of these issues have been addressed and I really am very pleased with the outcome so far. I t...

Got my second adjustment to six months miles two days ago, I have now had them on since May 23rd And today is July 20, 2013. I am really glad that I got these, I am sorry I didn't do it 20 years ago.

Had my first adjustment, did not change the wire but I don't see a lot of movement yet, another appointment in two weeks, dentist said he will change the wire then, I hope to see some movement soon, starting to think that this isn't working, but I know it's still early.

[quote="Winkos"]I should have gone to bed a half hour ago, but I am so avoiding the 20 minute floss that I am still awake, reading this forum. Does it get faster and easier with time? I have worn metal braces for 11 days and can't seem to cut the time down. The pesky molars are hard to get...

[quote="paulas1"]They changed my wire at my first adjustment but not at my second. They did however bend the wire on either side of one of my front teeth. It comes down a little further than the other and i think this is to push it back into my head! They haven't moved any of the brackets ...

[quote="paulas1"]Everyone is different. I saw movement within a couple of weeks and it has slowed down now (2 1/2 months). Others don't see movement at start but then it kicks off after a few months[/quote]
thanks for the info.

How long is it before I will see movement? Thanks

Thanks for responding to my post. I have had them on 1 week now, my bite does feel different, better I think, but i don't see any movement, I know its early yet. Do you know what size wire they used on your teeth and do they change the wire every time you went for an adjustment, will they readjust t...
