Metal Mouth Message Board

your problems sound just like mine!! Well, almost. I have crowding too. It's not really severe but certainly enough to make me want braces. My arches are narrow as well and I have a 5 mm overbite. It's not as big as yours but my ortho sure commented on how big that is.. lol. He did give me the optio...

your teeth look awesome! that's definately some great progress in one month. I hope mine goes as well!! I've only had mine on for a week now.

I have ceramics on my front 6 teeth on the top too. It was $5500 instead of $5000 which doesn't seem too much of a difference considering the look. I thought they were really noticeable but as long as you're not standing right in front of someone, they generally don't notice.. Actually, on Saturday ...

I'm starting to think my regular dentist really doesn'...

I'm pretty new to all of this so I don't have much to tell. I got my top braces on July 12 (ceramics! will be getting metal lowers at first adjustment) and a week before that, I had 6 spacers put in (4 on top, 2 on bottom). At first when they put the spacers in, they really didn't seem too bad. Just...

Thanks guys, that's probably what I'll do. I just feel bad for bugging him because I had to go in yesterday since one of my ligatures came off and the wire wasn't sitting in the bracket anymore. The part at the back that hurts is more so because that little thing that looks like a box sticks out the...

Not sure if this is normal or not so I thought I would ask.. I only got my braces about a week ago. I have ceramics on top but I have to wait until August to get my lowers. I do have the metal bands on my lowers though and the wire on the back of my teeth is REALLY digging into my gums. There's this...
