Metal Mouth Message Board

I just got elastics this morning and my Ortho told me to take them out to eat and brush my teeth. Other than that to leave them in. He said NOT to double up as that will do damage.

man that sucks i got some put on for my bottom teeth this past Tuesday and get them off for bottom brace on Saturday.

is it safe to get x-rays while in braces?
