Metal Mouth Message Board

24 months, only 6 weeks in. I am amazed at how much movement there has been already, maybe faster? One can hope!

$5000 Washington State. 2 year estimated treatment time. $0 paid by insurance.

Found the impacted canine club thread, so yeah, looks like there are others with experience

Glad it’s not just me! Today marks 2 weeks for me, and it’s been driving me crazy. Can’t wait to try your suggestions.

Looks amazing!

Fun! I know I won’t remember everyday, but I want to try something similar!

2 weeks ago at 44. Ugh

Wanted Invisalign. Not an option. Second choice, clear. Ended up with full metal. The techs all said they’re bigger, break more easily, are harder for them to work with, and end up taking more time. Less time was the selling point for me. I’m looking at two years minimum, and I’d like them off befor...

Add me to your club...top left canine. I’m sure to have lots of questions in the coming months. Got top brackets 2 weeks ago, ortho said they’ll add a spring to start a space at next appointment. Then the dreaded surgery. How often is this unsuccessful do you think?

Hello...just got upper braces at 44 years old. It’s been an adjustment to say the least. Will be having a canine pulled down in the near future (baby tooth is starting to fail) then getting bottom brackets. Anyone out there with experience with this?
