Metal Mouth Message Board

At last i have finished my treatment, 24 trays and best part of 1 year completed today. Very pleased with results, it really worked for me. Its amazing just how quickly the time went in the end!

Good luck everyone, cheers

I have been in treatment since 1 Aug 06. Now on tray 17 out of 24, getting near the end - yippee! Anyway, when i first started i was paranoid anout how long the trays were out for and hardly ever snacked. Now i am less obsessive. The treatment has gone very well, im really pleased. On an average day...

halfway through tray 7 of 24.

My ortho gave me a copy of my clincheck once i asked for it but it is a cut down version without the tray by tray veiw the ortho showed me. My version is a short rolling image from start to finish with no stops. Its ok but not as good as the version my ortho had. He said he is only able to give the ...

No pain with having the bumps put on. I cant comment on the removal as im still in treatment. I have had one come off though and that didnt hurt.

The bumps on the side of my mouth are round and although cant be seen unless I pull back my gum, when I do you can see them. However, this is always in private so not an issue. The bumps on the front of my teeth are rectangle and even when I look in the mirror from a couple of inches away I can’t ...

From my experience of only having my lowers treated (on tray 4 of 24), the bumps are really not noticable on my front lower teeth (i have two bumps). My lower teeth are noticable when i speak so i was a bit paranoid in the beginning but no one has noticfed anything. In total i have 6 bumps, two roun...

I have had invisalign for 6 weeks now (just started tray 4/24) and no one has noticed them or if they have have not mentioned it. I dont lisp at all anymore, did first few days but that was all. However i am only on lowers so this probably makes them less noticable.

I have had an extraction from my lower front teeth, now when the tray is in you cannot really see the gap but as soon as i take the tray out then the gap becomes very visible. Before i started this process i was worried about the trays being noticable, now i am more concious when the trays are out a...

It was quite easy, i was discussing the possibility of veneers with my dentist and she recommended that i also consider alternatives and meet with the ortho linked to the practise to discuss. The ortho told me about what options i had and that i would be a case for invisalign on my lower teeth but n...

What is your Ortho’s view on only wearing trays for 3-4 days?

Thanks for the comments. I am now just over one week into my treatment (L1/24) and things have settled down. My experiences so far: - Tooth pain. This has now settled down, I still cant chew food with my front teeth but this is getting better. I suspect that the discomfort I had was due to the tooth...

Hi all I have been lurking on this site for sometime ever since considering invisalign. I have a lot of crowding on my front lower teeth and have wanted to sort this out for years but didn’t fancy the metal braces route at the age of 34. So I decided to look at veneers following a discussion with ...
