Metal Mouth Message Board

I'm here as well. The boards have been fairly quiet lately. I just started tray #4 yesterday and have already started to notice the movement in my back teeth. I have never been able to floss back there and now all of a sudden I can. I compared set #1 to set #6 and there is a slight difference in my ...

I am on Week 1 of Tray 3 and hardly anybody notices that I am wearing them unless I point it out first. The only way you can really tell that they are there is if you very close to the person's mouth. Good luck!! The first week was the hardest but after that it was fine. The only word of advice that...

Hi all! My aligners are finally here. I pick them up tomorrow morning at 9:00. I am thrilled. Whoohooo (hopefully I am not to whiney about them in the beginning).

I am having difficulty too but not the same level as yours. My Ortho is a premier provider and I was told that he gets trays back in 3-4 weeks...tops. I called last Friday which was 3 weeks and they checked the status online. They stated that the trays aren't scheduled to ship for 2 more weeks which...

I agree that you shouldn't go in angry because I am a firm believer that you will get more "flys with honey than with....".

Good Luck!!

Wren,

Good luck in your search.

I too was not thrilled with the thought as that was one of the reasons I opted for Invisalign. However, I will wait to hear what others have to say before running away "crying".

Diehard...I am assuming that they are called elastics as opposed to rubber bands? Thanks for the info...

Hi group!! I will be getting my Invisalign trays in about 2 weeks and had a question for you. My Ortho told me that I may need to wear rubber bands at points throughout my treatment to assist with my jaw movement. Has anybody else had to do this? Is it awkward?

Thanks in advance!!
