Metal Mouth Message Board

I work with an ortho that uses Acceledent. His office has just started using the product. I am one of the first few in his office to try it. I am 6 months into braces. I started using Acceledent when I was about 2 months into it. The results are amazing. My ortho and I are really pleased at the prog...

I should have listened back then as I would be done by now. Oh well. Bit of history..this is my 2nd round, I had a repaired c...

I do travel nursing and was thinking of making up something to take in the car. These are great ideas. I will keep watching for new additions to this list.

I am 55 and scheduled on Jan 30th. I am however getting 2 other consults to make sure I am making the right choice.
