Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks

Well I'm out of hospital and I'm done, bit wibbly over the results at the moment, will probably go and ask questions over on the surgery board.

I had my brace adjusted and some pieces added today because I finally have my surgery date :D 22nd August The surgeon wanted to fit it around uni and started mentioning dates in December I was :shock: so he said well, summer doesn't give you much time to prepare. So I said I was definitely ready and...

But they've spaced it out and the tooth is now being pulled ...

I have the most annoying something stuck between my top two teeth and no matter how much I clean it, it just won't come out and I don't want anything stuck there rotting

Any ideas?

Hi Stephanie

Seeing the change in four weeks is amazing! I wish my teeth would move as fast

Hey, I'm a newbie here so I thought I'd introduce myself I'm Gem or Gemz, from the UK, I'm 19 and currently a student and working part-time I had a fixed brace put on my bottom teeth in March 2006, the top went on around October I think and will be having orthognathic surgery at some point (hopefull...
