Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks guys. Its nice to have some reasurrance!

Ok, I went for my 4th adjustment today and had a load of gear put in my mouth. First I had 4 springs put in to close up my premolar extraction gaps which seriously aren't too bad! Next I had 3 elastics put in to also close up the spaces and shift my midline. I've got 2 elastics on the top left and 1...

Good luck for tomorrow! Its my 4th adjustment on the 4th July too.

yep stick to soft foods and you'll be fine in no time! ice cream is good in this weather.

Woooo! congratz! only a few days to go now. hang in there!

Wow! a device that could re-grow teeth???

Thanks for the article!

I've been having treatment for bout 5 months now, and there is one pesky tooth which is not getting straight at all. My ortho had to even 'twist' it one time to give it a boost because it wasn't straightening! Ow the pain at that time....

my appointments are usually 6 weeks apart. but i have NEVER been unless i have been called for an appointment. this time ive had to wait 8 weeks for my appointment which is in a few days time.

Same here. I haven't seen a change in my mouth in ages...

im getting springs at my next adjustment in about 6 days.

Wow! thats a heck of a lot of movement!

Anyway welcome to the forum!

My 4th adjustment is on the 4th July when u get your molar bands. sorry just had to add that random comment!

I have 4 hooks to close up my extraction gaps. But they are the type which are attached to the archwire, so im guessing they are temporary. Supposedly im meant to be getting springs attached to these hooks at my next adjustment on the 4th of July.
