Metal Mouth Message Board

Yes, I suffer a bit from anxiety, that's why I grind my teeth (yes, an ortho isn't the specialist who can help with anxiety or maybe yes who knows).
I have never heard about this kind of subconscious therapy.

Hi all, today I went to an orthodoncist (specialist) and she said me that I don't need braces. She also said me that she could not guarantee me a perfect resualt if I had them. So, it seems that for me braces are not a must. She also said me that I may need to wear a mouthguard during night because ...

"flying home to get them adjusted rather than finding an ortho in germany"
Is it really so difficult (or/and) expensive to change orthos, that I should travel 2000km. just to see my ortho?

Yes, on tuesday I am going to look around for an ortho (monday is a holiday).

"I recommend not getting braces on just the bottom, if you going to spend the money, and get all your teeth done at once." I have thought about that. The main reason is that I am 21 years old and that I will look a bit like a teenager (I know, that I should have done this about 5 years ago...

Yes, I know that an ortho should advise me, but I think that some may say me yes just for money. I asked my dentist and he said me that I should consider to get braces only for aesthetic (he doesn't make ortho). What I think is that my front low teeth will get broken in the future, as one has alread...

Hi, I am a 21 years old guy. I have the problem that my front lower teeth are wearing away relatively quickly, especially because they are not aligned correctly. Do you think that I need braces?
