Metal Mouth Message Board

I had my upper braces removed yesterday. The molar gap is never closed. I have checked under Lynn's braces journey, same as my result. The molar gaps is never closed and she needs to have the bonding done. Do any adults have the similar case like mine? Thanks for all help.

Would they come back after the braces is off?????? I worry about this matter the most. One of my friends had the braces done in hong kong about years ago, her treatment was about 2 years. After the braces are done, she already felt that her teeth started to move again. I have heard that people shoul...

wow, thanks for your replies, it helps me to stay calmed and i feel better to hear everyone has gaps, not just me. hee....

Am i alone? why i have gaps from time to time. I got my braces since May.2006, the est time was about 15-16 months, but now is more than i expect. Is that because i am too old(35)???
Thanks if anyone can give me advice.

Some people tell me my cheek bones look bigger than before? I had an arch on my upper teeth for about 6 months.

I had braces since may.2006. Some people have not seen me for so long and they saw my pix and told me that my face looks so slim becoz of my braces. Is that true that the face shape also changes after we have braces?? when i look at the pix, i notice that my face look little bit longer than before, ...

Is that normal that my upper teeth should touch my bottom teeth when i chew my food? My braces is about 1 1/2 year and it is almost done. yesterday i got an adjustment that finally shows no more gaps. But now when i eat food, i feel like the upper teeth touching the bottom teeth. Are they right?????...

Today is the day to pull off three wisdom teeth. I ended up choosing local to do the things. I did ask the OS if i feel no pain, then i prefer the local instead of the under one. He said he could finish the work within 10 mins. That sounds very easy to me, so i trust him and i got two shots on each ...

Thanks for everyone's replies and you help me a lot to understand the differences. So i could request the OS doing the IV for me instead of the GA by the time i go there on monday morning. (man, time flies, i m scared to death), haahahahaha. He did tell me my upper ones are easy to remove, but not s...

I will have my three wisdom teeth removed on 17th (monday morning). I have checked w/the web that saying GA is more riskly then IV because they may put the tube in the throat or something to make u breath, is that true? HOw could they remove the teeth when the tube is there? It sounds so scary to me...

i feel sooooooo scared after i hear all of your different stories. it is not easy for me. Being braces would be fine to me, but pulling teeth is one of the most scary thing in my life.

if i choose the zzz process, how will they open my mouth. Such a silly question to ask, but i want to know how. Is that necessary to choose the zzz one cus it is $300 more. thanks for everyone's help and support.

if u were me, would u do it in the general dentist office or oral surgeon instead?? I went there when i had the teeth cleaning last time, the general dentist said he can do it for me, no big deal, should i trust him or not?? thanks for all the posts.

my ortho told me that i need to have 3-4 wisdom teeth removed after the treatment done. I am worried how painful to have them removed?? Some said not painful at all, but just bleeding all day....pls tell me about your experiences, thanks so much.

actually my braces started may.2006, i put 2005, sorry about it.
yes, it is never closed. My next visit is this Friday, will see what the ortho says. Everytime i see him, he said, "your braces are done soon"!! haha
