Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi! I don't know if you're going to read this since you posted awhile ago, but I Just wanted to help you. I also have TMJ, I woke up one morning and my jaw was locked shut. I have been wearing a mouthpiece to adjust my bite which has really helped and now I am getting invisalign to make this bite pe...

So I finally found out that I can get Invisalign for my open bite yay! I'm going on Thursday to get my final impressions taken. But I do have to have rubberbands with my Invisalign in order to correct my bite. My ortho explained that I will have about 4 small buttons attached to sides of my teeth an...

Hi! So did your ortho decide that Invisalign would work on your open bite? Because that is what I have, my back teeth don't touch all the way, is that how yours were? Alot of people told me it wouldn't work, but one ortho in St. Louis told me that he thought it prolly would.

I'm still trying to decide which ortho to go with because one told me I could use Invisalign to fix my TMJ and one told me I couldn't. The mouthpiece I wear is basically just repositioning my bite so my jaw joints don't rub together, and now when I take it out my back teeth don't touch, so the brace...

Hello! Yes, I am getting Invisalign to hopefully correct my bite. All of my pain/TMJ type symptoms are the result of an automobile accident over 6 years ago. My face hit the steering wheel and then my head went through the windshield. Miraculously nothing was broken however; I have had jaw pain, ho...

I have TMJ and have been wearing a mouthpiece to correct my bite and now my backteeth do not touch and I have to get braces to move my teeth to this new position so I no longer have to wear the mouthpiece. However I absolutely do not want braces again I refuse, so I am considering either iBraces or ...

This is very interesting to me because I have TMJ and I am suppose to be getting braces to fix it, and I really really want to get Invisalign. I have had some people tell me it will work for me and some people not. Are you getting Invisalign to fix your bite?

I noticed that you said you had TMJ. I also have TMJ and have been wearing a mouthpiece for awhile to fix my bite. Now my backteeth do not touch, and I have to get braces to change this. My dentist told me that I would not be a candidate for Invisilign, but then I went to a qualified ortho in St. Lo...

Hi, I thought I would tell you that I too have an open bite, my back teeth do not touch because I have TMJ and have been wearing a mouthpiece to correct it and now I have to get braces to make this bite permanent. I had a few orthodontists tell me that I could not use Invislign to make my back teeth...

Hi newguy, my ortho told me that if I had lingual braces and I had a problem hitting the brackets and breaking them off that they could fit me with some sort of little mouth piece that would stop that. Try asking about that, or find an ortho that knows how to use those. Good luck!

Hi, I am 19, and I have to get braces to fix my TMJ, and I really really want iBraces, I do NOT want braces on my teeth! I was just wondering if anyone has ever had these? How bad do they hurt your tongue? Someone (who doesn't have them) told me they tear your tongue up causing scar tissue and can e...
