Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks for your reply! eoberhauser I would love to see your flipper I'll wait for the pic. want to love mine too and I think I can talk with my ortho about it. :wink: Sometimes we have comunications problems or language barriers, I'm from Argentina and at the moment I'm living in Malaysia, we both s...

Finally my doubts about what a flipper was ended with this. I had another idea of what a flipper was, (something smaller) I'm not so happy with this gadget on my mouth but I guess that I will have to get used to, like everything.... Any advice??
