Metal Mouth Message Board

i only have one molar band on my 2nd upper molar. My ortho will move my 2nd and 3rd molar forward because I dont have a 1st molar.

the other molars have no bands, only brackets.

thats an emergency, call your Ortho. but if theres no wire attached to it yet then it can wait I think

I have self ligating braces and im supposed to be getting my first wire adjustment/change in 10 weeks since I first got them put on

Hello! I am in Mexico right now and would like to get braces in Mexico City. I am so scared of getting braces again, as it is the second time around, since adolescence! It's to correct the big mistake made when I was a teenager, where the orthodontist destroyed my smile. Can anyone recommend an abs...

do your braces look like the ones in this video?

Im 29 and got braces for first time

I got self ligating braces and had pain in bottom front teeth and some pain on top teeth but went away after 4 days. I dont want to take any pain relievers either because that might slow down tooth movement

every 3-4 hours is what my ortho told me to do

looks really good,

but i do see what you mean, the middle line between your front teeth is not really straight

what type of self ligating braces do you have?

I have the H4 type and havent had any trouble with them so far but its been a 2 weeks though

how much does a TAD cost? the ortho i went to cost 1k for a screw implant, is that normal price?
