Metal Mouth Message Board

I had my exposure done in March, the orthodontics started pulling it down 3 months ago..

I can see the tooth in the roof of my mouth and it’s moved slightly but it hasn’t gone into my gap yet??

Rkansal79 - my surgery was just under $700 for canine exposure but I wasn’t put asleep, it was a fairly easy surgery wide awake with the help of Valium! This is in Australia though. How’s everyones impacted canines going? Mine isn’t showing yet but it’s moving, orthodontic said I might need to be IV...

7 weeks post canine exposure
Got my adult tooth ripped out yesterday to make room for the orthodontics to activate the canine next weekend!


In anyone’s experience, did it hurt when they started pulling on it? The site is completely healed and doesn’t hurt what so ever

Update! Went to get my canine activated but they said I need my premolar removed in order for the canine to move into place as my mouth is overcrowded. The pain after surgery was 0 and it’s all healed up it’s just ready to be pulled!! My tooth removal is in 1.5 weeks time and my next orthodontics is...

What was it like for the canine tightening? Getting it done this Saturday and want to prepare myself, I’ve hesrd it hurts but my oral surgeon said it won’t.

Hey guys! Surgery went great, wasn’t painful at all and I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure! 45 minutes it took, the Valium kicked in as soon as I went into the chair! The worst thing was the anxiety, I overreacted way to much and this procedure was much better than a filling. The recov...

Well my surgery is only 6 days away! Wish me luck. I’m getting so much anxiety over it, but I am taking a Valium before hand so that should ease the anxiety heaps!

How did everything go for your during surgery? Were you awake, tell me your experience x

Thank you for your reply! I think the part of me thinks that I’m scared to show I’m anxious but I’m 100% taking a Valium before hand. I have a really sensitive flight or fight response aswell so when I get adrenaline I start getting the shakes aswell! I’m excited to be getting this done and proud of...

Hey guys, I’m getting my canine exposure done in 3 weeks time and I’m sesame myself. I’m 23 and had braces on for 4.5 months now, I’ll be getting it done awake in the dental chair by an oral surgeon.
