Metal Mouth Message Board

Since I just had my morgan bumpers on, I am wondering if it might help with your situation. Some people here have something similar to morgan bumpers. But if you don't have them, it's probably too later to order because it seems like you can only order it online.

Good luck.

That's good to hear.

It does not fit every bracket on me either. But over all it provides a smooth surface. My mouth skin is getting more and more sensitive to those metals I don't know why. So this bumper really helps. I will double check with my ortho at next appointment. Thanks again.

I must make clear of this: I'm not advertizing. I read about this morgan bumper last week from archwired.com. My order of the morgan bumper just arrived today and I quickly put it on. After about ten minutes, I felt pretty comfortable in it. I'd prefer it over wax because wax is harder to manage tha...

Thanks so much for all the information. I will forward these to them.

Thanks guys/gals. I slept so well last night. First of a week! I still need some getting used to the eating though.

But I finally got my signature!!! I'm so happy!

Well. I experienced my biting changed 7 hours after my uppers were put on! They were put on at 11am that day. Lunch was not a problem. But dinner at 6 was a nightmare because I chipped one of my teeth! I also noticed the flossing in some areas are quite different within a week!

Well I don't have experience of knocking them off but from my understanding electric toothbrush is actually recommended because it does a good job at cleaning. Now the first time my ortho's assistant put the wire on, two of the brackets actually came off. And that surprised the assitant but they did...

I'm actually asking this for a friend couple. The husband just started considering of getting braces. I told them the cost etc. The wife told me today that they decided to go ahead and put that much money ($3000) into their Flexible Spending Account for next year without consulting an ortho. As most...

Congratulations!

It's been hard for me too. Well, I guess it's a hard decision for most of the adults. So it feels so good to hear these decision stories: aha! He/She went through the same struggling and finally made it!

For that long? I'd better try to live with it then...

This is fantastic! Congratulations!!!

And it's really encouraging to us. Diligence does pay. I'm so happy for you.

Oh, wow... I had this exact same problem the first couple of nights after I got my braces... I wish I would have read this then... at the time I actually bit down so hard I knocked one of my brackets off while I was sleeping--painful. My orthodontist ended up putting what looks like a hard piece of...

I don't have the lower brackets on yet. And for the upper, there is one that needs rotation. The ortho didn't put a bracket on that one because he needs to wait till there is room for it.

Tfiestyone4u，I had my uppers one day after you did. :) Well in my case, the very first day, one of my upper teeth bit into my lower one. :cry: So I'm not sure what my ortho's plan is... I'm also having trouble sleeping because of this. I got a suggestion from this forum to get a night gua...

I am curious about this. It's been several days since my ortho put on upper brace for me. I asked him when he is gonna put on the lower brace but he didn't specify a time. At least he is not gonna do that for the next appointment. I don't understand this. If the upper is moving but the lower is not,...
