Metal Mouth Message Board

Tipped, I am sorry but I think it is sesame. If you really believe these claims, I would like to see some evidence. Otherwise stop scaring people with misinformation. While some people have surgery for cosmetic reasons, many have it for health reasons - headaches, sleep apnea, excessive wear on the...

Just be aware. And not to cause freight, if you if "break bone" it will never ever be the same. Unless it is critical to "break your god given natural jaws" that is you can't even know how to eat or other, vs. "wanting" "just look" "nicer" Don't do i...

Very interesting question To me. Having a Class II Div 2 'overclosure' which amounts to an overbite, given three choices: 1. Surgery which must only be in the most dire situations, (and i am not) 2. Extractions; which are a no-go as it will collapse the upper lip 3. "Straight-forward" ort...

Do a comparison with what is out there, see if it jogs your memory or should like like any one of them: http://www.aso.org.au/Images/Orthodontics/braces_diagram.jpg http://library.thinkquest.org/5029/cugloss1.gif http://jeff20.je.funpic.de/final/pix/braces/braces5_2.jpg http://www.dvorthodontics.com...

Great question. Being extremely new at this I can tell you that on the very first round they put on clears and after the first 6 weeks to me they were quite notably stained (primarily coffee in this instance). Seems they automatically put on "pearl" (or off-white or even ceramic), color as...

A couple of months in my particular case. Even with a 10 yo file of the same thing in hand. I guess they have to play around with the molds, do group studies even, and analyze exactly what the treatment plan is going to be. Unless its a straight forward non-bite straighting situation.

Sounds suspect when they mention the insurance like that. As though a high penalty is automatically charged to insurance without reason. What happens if you just decide one day to stop. Phone them up one day and say sorry, lost interest in this, no longer coming in. Bye. Realistically though, very c...

:shock: You should visit the dental hygienist every 3 months for a solid cleaning and polish as needed. Cleans the smoke stains and coffee right off. At your smoke rate the visit at $200 and under each time is what about 10 days worth of smokes :wink: better all round through the course of treatment...

Got braced 3 months ago after putting it off for more than 20 years. Combination back then sheer terror at the age of 18 + of surgery, shaving jaw bones to shorten them plus no such thing as insurance for that. Suffered not smiling for the next 10 + years (it's amazing what the human can get used to...
