Metal Mouth Message Board

Rosiesue - I have the same problem as yours. Could you tell me how you got things resolved? Hi Really sorry I didn't see this until now! I went straight back to my dentist and she took off the fixed bar, got the inman refitted, wore that for a couple of weeks and then had some clear trays, and they...

Thanks cjfarmgate and starnepus! Went back to dentist and she was equally upset that they moved. In an essix retainer now to hold them where they are and the inman lab will decide based on new impressions whether to make clear trays or back to the inman for a while. I really don't mind either way as...

hello all - sorry haven't been on this in ages! I was delighted to be finished up with my inman aligner just before christmas and got a fixed retainer behind my top set. I was going to wait til I'd finished whitening to post pictures but within a week of having the bonded retainer my teeth started t...

Hope your fitting goes well today Helenv! And enjoy your holiday too! I'm just back from a 3 week holiday in south east asia and it was no hassle. I am going back to the dentist on Monday to get impressions for my retainer! Can't believe I'm finished, it really flew by! There is one incisor to the s...

ps LadyF your teeth look fab! They are so white too!! x

Hi all! Just back from a trip to the dentist and a little disappointed. She had me so convinced that I would be getting fitted for a retainer today, but now says they aren't ready, which means I will have my Inman for my 3 week holiday :( They annoying part is that at my last appointment she told me...

Fantastic cjfarmgate!! Delighted for you I bet they look fab. You have been so encouraging and helpful on this forum, we will miss you!!
Please send us some pics soon!

tcmn I have noticed my teeth are whiter too and friends have even asked if I've gotten them whitened!! I think it might be due to brushing and flossing them 5 times a day every day! (my dentist never polishes mine, you lucky thing!) x

Hi nattttt, I went to see two dentists both of whom were pushing the six month train tracks instead as my case was quite crowded. When we decided on the inman she said it would take 4-5 months and need invisalign style trays at the end. I got my inman on August 7th, 9 weeks ago today, and its alread...

Hello! How is everyone getting on? Its been very quiet around here! :) I was back for an appointment yesterday and she is hoping I'll be done by Oct 31st, 24 days away!! We were aiming for that date all along as I am going travelling in Vietnam for 3 weeks and I thought it would be so so handy to be...

Sorry to hear that oharecr, that's very dissappointing for you. But it will be worth it in the end - its great they are making real space rather than just shaving your teeth down with too much IPR. I've seen a post on here before from someone who had an expander for ages saying as soon as they got t...

Heres some photos of my progress week1- week6. Hope you can see them properly. I'm really happy so far!

Not much to report here, getting on well! Almost 6 weeks in, and hoping it'll be all done in another 6 or less! :D Had 2 days this week where I couldn't wear it at all - a big presentation followed by a panel interview, and then I was bridesmaid at my cousin's wedding and had it out for almost 24 ho...

Hello all! I haven't posted in a while as there hasn't been much news, just the first month of getting used to it. 4 weeks in this week and had my first check up today! (Next one not for another 5 weeks... ) Dentist seemed happy with progress, and then I asked to see the original mould of my teeth a...

Oharecr I think had to post 10 posts before I could see photos on the message board. Its great to see peoples before and after shots! Congratulations to all of you in the final stages, hearing your stories makes it seem doable, please post more photos! :D 1 week today for me.. haha hopefully time wi...
