Metal Mouth Message Board

thats interesting.. my orth never told me that we will get a longer face after our treatment... dose anyknow any more info about this??? how dose this happen???

I know a lot of people here are concern about their slow treatment but I’m right now I’m actually concern that my treatment is going way too fast! Ya! That’s right !!I’m complaining about my speedy treatment !haha One of my canines is moving WAY too fast compare to the other 3, it moved almo...

Ya your brackets might get a little bit bigger after u applied the wax, but I believe if you were to get the original clear brace, it is also bigger then the metal brace.

not sure if anyone tried this, here is the trick I found. If I put enough wax on my bracket it actually become less noticeable (make it look like u have clear brace!!) since the wax color match much better with my teeth color then the metal. PS: dose anyone know is there a much whiter wax we can get...

This topic already started and can be found here

but that topic, people only comment on their finding "DURING" their treatment but none really tell us did their lip actually got bigger "AFTER" their treatment comparing "BEFORE" they got their brace

ya the size of your lip=)

did your lap thickness got bigger "AFTER" your treatment compare to b4 u got brace?????

Dear Katie, or whoever that can answer these: How long did it took you to close the gaps?? My orth is planning to close the gaps first by pulling back my canines, and "after that" then he will start pull the 4 fronts teeth from each arch back, was your procedure similar to mine or did your...

My orth use elastics to close the four gaps in my month. He plans to pull all my front teeths back with the gap from the side (4 premoler extractions).

I'm not sure if elastics is the best way to go, is there another tools he can use?? (spring, normal arch wire)???

the things with me is that he put the band on my 3rd molar instead of the 2nd molar.. I remeber he mentions that it was too big. Not sure if that might be another reasons why it causing pain.. i really hope this will get better.

thanks for the replies and concerns.. the things that puzzle me is that.. why my molar hurts this much (but acceptable) when the molars are acting as archors to pull my front teeth backward. The molars shouldn't be moving at all (or not that much anyway). Do you guys remember if u have this kind of ...

okok bad news then good news the bad news is that my molar (back teeths) are hurting quite a bit and chewing a soft taco hurts, is this normal? :oops: Well the good news is that I got my brace about one week ago and I’m already seeing some movement!! if this keeps up.. i think i can get debanded e...

i Battle Angel. I have a theory, but I'm not sure it's right... I think he is moving your cusps before maybe because he doesn't want your molars to move forward, know what I mean? He probably want to occupy the whole gap with the front teeth moving backwards - so correcting your flaring/protusion! ...

ok I just got back from my orth and I’m a bit confuse now. I have a bi-maxary prostrusion (where teeth are sticking out)problem but other then that , my teeth are pretty straight . Recently I got 4 bicuspids 1st premolar took out (was a breeze), so my orth can now move all 6*2row=12 teeth back. He...
