Metal Mouth Message Board

any one have a case when they have to get a gap in their front teeth in order to close em back up and have em straighter?

so 2 weeks ago clin check came back and we communicated, did some adjustments, and approved the rx. I was told it'll be 10 business days and they'll be in. 2 weeks later no ring so I call them. they said they have an expected shipment date of 8/21 and ten days after that. :-+ :-+ :-+ :-+ I think pre...

what if the doc recommends acceledent?

I wonder why these attachments aren't done lingually....

I'm blaming some sort of reflux issue, but any other guesses?

You'll be alright.

I'd be ecstatic knowing my ortho is using elastics, means he knows how to use this tool(invisalign) effectively.

I brushed my teeth but that 30 minute window that the drink sat on my teeth was all it needed as those 30 minutes accumulated over the course of the treatment. I ended up getting a cavity between my two fr...

my ortho showed my clincheck before so we can make chemistry on what we want and how he can modify it.

I brush mine after every meal, and when I don't have a toothbrush I just swish some water around and spit it out.

had 5 cavities filled recently and at that time i was drinking and eating and not brushing. had one filled between the front two teeth .
