Metal Mouth Message Board

I go once a month. They don't do much, check things out and change my donuts...but they want me in once a month for a checkup. I've been in tbe braces for 14 months now.

Guess I'm lucky?
I get mine changed at every appointment.

Oh ya, and if I go home and don't like the color after a day or two, I can go back in and they'll change them again for me!

My ortho told me but I have forgotten the purpose of elastics...been wearing them for 8 months now.

First I had one elastic to wear on each side
Then I had 2 different size elastics to wear on each side
Now I am back to one elastic on each side

What are they for again...what do they do?
Thanks!!!!

Hi there,

I am 38 and wanted braces forever but just simply put it off until now...I have had them on for 3 months and seen amazing movement!

Living in London by the way!!
