Metal Mouth Message Board

no sorry my mistake i have a TRIPLE wire. i'll try and post pics of it asap.

aaaah nooooooo! im gettin springs at my next adjustment to close my extraction gaps!

congratulations! I don't know how long my treatment time is
Be sure to post pics!

I have a double wire! But only on 1 side of my mouth. Apparently its to shift my midline??? Once both the wires got tangled and that was a bit of a problem, but its ok now.

One of my molars is a little achy. I find it feels good to put pressure on it with my tongue. That probably sounds weird but whatever works, right? This kind of comes & goes with different teeth so I'm pretty sure it's movement. Now if I could just get the one I really want to move to MOVE ALRE...

Anyone got achey teeth right at this moment in time? Just curious. lol

cool my adjustment's on the 4th July too! Congrats on your progress!

Hi everyone. I just wondered which extraction gap closure method works best. powerchains? springs? elastics? looping wires? What do you guys think

Im under 16 so its free for me on the NHS lol!

i dont think i ever had trouble with metal bands... even with 4 extraction gaps.. It'll all be worth it in the end guys! hang in there!

hang in there all of you. those canker sores will get better!

maybe your ortho is focusing on your other teeth rather than the extraction gaps... i have 4 extraction gaps that haven't closed yet... but I'm getting springs in July.

my family and my orthodontists family have become friends. and my mum and dad are really good friends with my orthodontist and his wife.

wow willz you've got your springs on pretty early!

i had my upper and lower bicuspids removed aswell. seriously it doesn't hurt. you'll probably feel a little bit of pulling while they take the teeth out but thats about it because you won't feel any pain. the local anaestheics do a great job! good luck!
