Metal Mouth Message Board

yeah i actually threw my remaining brace cleaning tablets away as well... just had to order some more

so yeah i kinda got my dates mixed up so am still wearing my IA for another 5 weeks. will update once i get the fixed retainer put in ect :p

Get mine taken out in 5 days - cant wait. teeth are straight now but move if i have the IA out for any length of time, so hoping he puts in the metal bar thing behind my teeth to keep them straight
Will post pics once its done!

your teeth look amazing now!

Hey Clairedan1982, did you end up getting the permanent retainer put in?

yeah im at dentist on the rock - i have a friend who has had the fixed bar for 10 years and still ahs perfectly straight teeth... so i am gonna choose that option - im scared that your teeth seem to move so much

can you not get the bar cemented at the back of your teeth to keep them in place?

I hope he offers me the metal bar option - don't want to have to keep wearing a retainer forever :(

do you have a permanent bar glued to the back of your teeth now?

wow your dentist sounds awesome! I have to visit the dentist mid December to see the hygienist so i may ask to speak to him for a minute to convey my concerns -thanks for the info, you seem to have a much different experience with your IA than i do

haha thanks for your concern! - he did say that i have alot of room for the tetth to move into.. maybe that is why he is not seeing me for so long. All i had done was a bit of filing - need to have fillings done when i next go in Jan.. Do you still feel pain with yours? Thats my main concern, i dont...

hope you are right :)

i have 3 blobs of composite on them - weird thing is it no longer hurts when i brush my teeth or eat.. feels like it isnt working anymore..
Think the problem was that he is fully booked until mid jan so that when he could fit me in next :(

I'm kind of worried i wasn't told to tighten mine and don't see my dentist again for 11 weeks.. Is that normal?

just got mine put in two days ago - at dentist on the rock. Really sore when eating and brushing my teeth, hopefully it improves soon. Good to read about everyone's experiences on here.
