Metal Mouth Message Board

two of my upper back teeth are very loose. when brush my teeth they wiggle and when my top and bottom teeth come together they move. saw ortho today. he said he has seen looser but mine are pretty loose. should i be worried.

lately most of my teeth are loose. iv had my braces for 2 months now. first adjustment is feb 12. should i be worried about the loose teeth.

first bracket became loosse during new years weakend. i call the orto office and they told me i could wait untill my appt in feb. they said it would not make a difference and i could wait. well i was not comfortable with that answer. anyway now i noticed antoher loose bracket. but i will call again ...

i noticed i have 2 loose brackets and my appointment is not until feb. should i call or wait until my appointment to get them fixed? they are not bothering me only that i know they are broken. what do yall think?

how long does it take to see movement ? i have had braces 5 days, and dont notice a thing. i have read that some people see a difference in only 1 day. how long did it take yall to notice a difference?

well i will be braced right along with you. so i will be posting tomorrow night to let everyone know how it went. tonight we are having ribeye steaks for supper. because im sure i wont be able to eat steak for a while let us know how your bday went

well we can be brace buddies! , i will let everyone know how bday goes, its getting close. im nervous but ready. looking forward to read about your bday latestarter

for 5 months i have been lurking around here while in the process of getting braces. now bday is dec 13, and thanks to all of the info on this web site, i feel i am prepared about what to expect.

well today i got spacers in. so far so good. at times i forget there are there.
i hope it stays this way. i get braced on dec 13. but im worried about christmas dinner hope i can eat by then and enjoy it what is the average time spacers stay in? i will have mine in two weeks.

well today is the begining of the end. crooked teeth that is. i had xrays, molds, and pics done today. will have to wait untill aug 30 for a phone consult about my plan of treatment. then i may have to wait anothe month to get the braces on. whew thats alot of waiting! im not famous for having paten...
