Metal Mouth Message Board

24/7 for a year then nights.

I had gum graphing prior to braces and it wasn't a fun thing. After having braces I started to get recession on the same area due to brushing too hard and having getting around the brackets.


I don't think I want to go back to the procedure.

Pain killers!!!!

I had mine on for 14 days and it was unpleasant...

I started doubling up after they started snapping every 1-2 hours

Then I decided I needed more time and some corrections to be made. My ortho wants 3 more weeks because I wanted my bottom center incisor to be fix. When I had my appointment in March I had molds taken with my brackets on, but wasn't sure what it was for. So I did not say anything :x . I was not aske...

I have the same problem with my upper center incisors. It's still not fix and I pointed that out to the ortho...I'm set to deband for the 28. I may need another month....

With no insurance it was 3025 for 24 months.

I had gum grafting done before i could get braced.

Sensodyne does wonder

Sore happens for a few days. You can use pain killers to help... In the mean time hang in there.

I was going every 6 weeks..now i've been going every 4 weeks with a month left in metal

I have 28, 30 when i had wisdom.

I was at 6 weeks apart but time is shortening up. Now I'm starting 4 weeks.

I wanted the hygienist to do it, but that day she was busy so the assistant ask if she can. She did and was poor at it.

That is great, remember to show us..
