Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi, I have been searching the forum and been reading what people have said. I have noticed that there seems to be some yellow staining on my teeth around the sides of the brackets even though I brush at least 3 times a day and use mouthwash. I know some of it is the glue and I have read that some of...

Hi, my ceramic brace came loose yesterday and I cant have anymore time off work to go get it fixed plus they can never fir me in at short notcie anyway. I am just goin to wait until my next check up on 15th March

Hi, I have never used any crest toothpaste or any of the mouthwashes you have mentioned but I still had the problem. In fact I changed toothpaste and mouthwash loads and it never cleared the problem up. Not until I started rinsing really thoroughly did it go away, maybe if you clear the residue from...

Hi Everyone, I have had the same problem as you all since I started using mouthwash about a year ago. I saw the dentist and the doctor and neither knew what the problem could be. I still dont know what is causing it but now I find that if I rinse after brushing and after using mouthwash I dont get t...

Hey, I had an upper bicuspid removed on either side. The ortho told me that gaps close about 1 mm per month for an adult and a bicuspid is on average 7 mm wide. Hope that helps

Congrats to everyone who started their braces journey recently. I got braced on friday! My teeth are still tender but they're getting better each day x

Hey, I know this probably sounds silly but I was wondering if the clear brace covers you can buy from dentakit are easy to fit over the bracket and if it is possible for them to perhaps break the bracket at all as you put them on

thankz

I love them too, my mum just bought me some for when I have my braces on this weekend!

I had both my upper 1st bicuspids removed on friday and whilst the pain in the extraction site has gone I am now left with a dull ache/throb in my upper jaw. I have had teeth out before and never had this. When she was extracting my teeth the dentist was applying pressure on my 4 front teeth, kinda ...

Hey, I just had my upper first bicuspids removed yesterday. My ortho chose the 1sts and not the 2nds so my treatment would be quicker.

Hey, I hope you can help me with this. I was reading a previous post concerning how many upper teeth have ceramic brackets and how many have metal. I am having ceramic braces on my uppers and have not been told by my ortho that some will be metal. Has anyone had all ceramic brackets on all their top...

Hey,

I'd love to be your braces buddy. I get Braced Aug 11th and cant wait. Good luck for 2moro

Hey guys, In a couple of weeks time im getting ceramic braces on my uppers and, after seeing all the pictures you've posted of your coloured ligs, was looking forward to getting some nice pretty colours. However, was talking to the ortho the other day and she said she only has clear ligs. I've heard...

Hi BeeBee, how far are you along with your braces?? Well, the ortho I didnt have a very good experience with was a Mr Bhandal, I think he works out of a few dental surgeries in Birmingham and the Black country area. Im not saying hes unfit to practice (dont wana get in trouble), just that I personal...

Hey, Sorry to hear about your problems. I also had a bad experience with my dentist/ortho in Birmingham. Just wondering who you are seeing, dunno if it might be the same one??? I managed to change mine a week before I was meant to get the teeth pulled as his behaviour was very offputting and arrogan...
