Metal Mouth Message Board

I was debraced on Saturday! :D :D However, one of my lateral incisors is shorter than the other. My ortho said he couldn't contour the longer one to match the shorter once because it would look silly! :shock: He said I should ask my dentist what my options are...so, of course, I come to you all! I h...

Two packages in seven months of treatment.

Thanks KK!

Looking good Cinnamon! I agree Big Mama is getting there. I think you need to do a little cheer for her, ala "I think I can, I think I can, I know I can, I know I can!"

Best of luck with your extraction recovery Galler! I agree with KK that it doesn't sound like dry socket. When I had dry socket getting anything in the area was absolutely excruciating.

Wow it has been a long time since I posted last! Life has been crazy... but, in a great way! I had an adjustment last week (12/5) which was a bit tedious but, also, very productive.

However, about 2 hours after the adjustment my entire upper arch and palate became extremely sensitive to both heat and cold. I'm ...

Good luck on your brace day! KK gives great advice. I would also suggest that you go eat something that you have to chew right after your appointment. You won't be sore yet and that will help get the blood circulating.

I had all four of wisdom teeth extracted this past spring. My oral surgeon wouldn't remove all four at the same time. I had my upper two which were partially erupted removed first and had no complications and no pain. During the procedure I had a local only. It was quick and easy. I took the prescri...

Bravo! Here's to a shortened treatment time and great results!

Great progress Victor! Your "goal" teeth certainly look feasible...keep visualizing!

Welcome! I agree with KK your teeth are going to look fab when you are done!

Help! Not all of the photos that I posted are showing up. I posted them all (hosted by Image Shack) the same way. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

I'm a bit technically challenged!
