Metal Mouth Message Board

I won't say anything further. You want elastics. Go for it.

YAY!! another Damon patient. I got my Damon MX (all metal) and Damon 3s put in two months ago. I was lucky I didn't need spacers.. though I was told I may need elastics in the future. Anyways the bonding procedure is simple. My orthodontist was swamped with patients so mine took a bit longer than us...

whoa.. sorry about the two posts being the same. It said it didn't send at first so I resubmitted. HA. Anyways I forgot to mention that as of now.. the Damon system is still clinically proven to be faster than any other brace system. You have the upper hand. Don't worry so much.

Probably just excess cement. It ain't coming off until debonding lol. Welcome to the world of braces. Two months for me.

My orthodontist uses only Damon 3/MX and Invisalign braces. He attends orthodontic conferences whenever they arise so he keeps up to date, I would imagine yours does the same. I've had my Damon 3s in for two months now and just had the archwire changed 3 days ago. The assistant told me the first wir...

Anybody else besides me dreaming of teeth whitening after braces? I have another 10-12 months to go until mine are removed. I'm considering the bleaching trays provided by your dentist - I was told my orthodontist usually doesn't do teeh whitening but the assistant said if I ask he'll order it for m...

My orthodontist and the assistants have told me if it becomes too bothersome that I can just clip it (somehow). I would never try it myself, I would just call in and have them do it. should only take 30 seconds. I've had my Damon 3s in for two months now and the molars were fine, the rear molars wer...

I've had my Damon 3 braces on for 2months now and I have my regular cleaning scheduled for October. I don't see how its even possible to have your teeth cleaned with all that metal in the way. Especially polishing.. sounds impossible. What should I expect? Should I go in more often for cleanings? 4 ...

Its been 8 weeks with my Damon 3 braces and today I got my second archwire put in. Its been almost 12 hrs now... and I'm trying to eat soft food but its almost unbearable. Is that normal? lol

I know after having my braces put on my orthodontist cemented white blocks behind my two front teeth, I think he called them "tooth turbos"? Because I have an overbite, it prevents my back teeth from touching all the way - also making chewing a nightmare. My front bottom teeth constantly s...

Here is a link to pictures I took tonight. I never realized how gross my teeth looked. lol. Anyways the top 6 are fitted with Damon 3, my bottom left and right cuspids also. The rest are all Damon MX. http://www.picturetrail.com/xk.trance I've had them in two 8 weeks now. I go in tomorrow for an arc...

I was wondering if anybody else on this site is currently fitted with Damon 3 brackets. My orthodontist basically switched to them for all his new patients. I was wondering how the archwire changes felt. I'm told the wire becomes thicker? Its been two months for me and I've noticed my top and bottom...

I don't have dental insurance but my Orthodontist is chargine me zero interest. $55 consult fee, $475 down, $196 a month for 24 months. Canadian dollars. He was highly recommend by 4 friends of mine. Very flexi...
