Metal Mouth Message Board

Wow i pretty much abandoned my little braces diary LOL Today at 9 i get my second adjustment, ive lost 2 back braces but they said they'll just replace them today so not to worry about it. My wire popped out once and they did fix that but then the other bracket fell off so its just chilling. I don't...

March 9th/18 I wanted to wait a full day before actually coming on here and talking about my first day with braces. I got them put on at about 9:30am march 9th, the brackets came inside the trays that are like your temporary clear retainers but instead of your bracket being individually put on the t...

Hi, id say go for it. I was told by multiple orthodontists that they wouldn't do work on me because of my short roots, and here i am in my second round of braces because well...mine shifted back too! my ortho basically said "well, you're going to probably need dentures when youre older anyways,...

Tuesday i got my Carrier Appliance off even though my Ortho said he wanted to go another round. I was a little frustrated and he saw that and said "ok what is it" and i explained that last time he said was the last round and so i had been excited to get it off, he re measured my teeth move...

Tuesday February 20th i get my distalizer off and ommmmggg im so excited lol. Ive gotten used to the appliance but it irritates me just as much as it did in the beginning. Its not attractive at all and its noticeable lol. Tuesday they're supposed to take this thing off and get impressions for a reta...

I have not had that, however, I'm going to guess it's to keep everything in place that the appliance has done until you get your braces on. How long is it between getting that off and getting your braces on? Two weeks, honestly it still makes no sense after i called the Ortho to ask why they did it...

Has anyone here had carriere motion appliance, then got it taken off and ortho gave them a temp retainer to wear until they got their braces on? i get my carriere off feb 20th and was wondering if someone elses ortho has gone through the same procedure as me.. I'm slightly confused on why I'm gettin...

Wow thats awesome! I got mine on December 8th and since then I've broken both sides of the back parts of the top bar lol. I get mine off February 20th!! I never got a clear retainer on the bottom though, just the metal bands around my back teeth...I have a pretty bad overbite too, but its gone from ...

It really confused me, i meant to ask but i felt so rushed through since i had to wait until they pretty well closed to see the Ortho lol. When i had braces, I honestly only recall having my wires changed 3 times. All the other times were just minor check ups and colour changes lol. Its just confusi...

Today was rough. Not only did i have a crappy day at work, but i also had to leave at 3:30 to go to my Ortho appointment. So, I left work, got to my appointment and check in at 3:50pm....Now my Ortho is notorious for appointments being severely pushed back, but I've never had to really wait to see h...

Yup he didn't! Then when i went back to him to do treatment cause i figured, why not go back to the same ortho i dealt with to begin with...He refused treatment!! "My roots are too short" Yet my new ortho looked at my roots from the first time i had braces till now and said i would be fine...

Are you still in your Distalizer?

Alright, so I’m getting pretty annoyed over here. It’s only been what like two weeks since I got my CD fixed from the bar coming off the right side...Now the left side bar came off. They’re obviously not open on sundays, so I’m going to have to wait until tomorrow morning to see if they have a quick...

I went to go see my orthodontist yesterday after work and ummm they were closed. Guess they're at their other location. This morning i didn't have any bleeding but my gum is still swollen, I think I'm just going to leave it and try to not bother with it. I've definitely noticed my teeth move. My two...

Over the weekend i had a 2 day headache, not sure if it had to do with my carriere motion but it seemed when i took my elastics out it would subside..my teeth are definitely sensitive now that i have the stronger elastics and i can notice some movement so hopefully things are on the right track here...
