Metal Mouth Message Board

Good idea John. You're right and I will check before leaving the ortho from now on.

It turns out, bottom tray #02 was put in tray #20 bag...they were just put in the wrong bags.

Bare with me on this story, it's a little confusing. I began my treatment on March 3 with tray set #1. When it was time for set #2, I got the top ones on just fine but, after about 30 minutes trying desperately to get the bottoms on, I took a closer look and there was no way those were going on my t...

Hi!
Dry mouth and lips are rough...no pun intended. The only thing that is bringing relief to me is constant water and constantly reapplying chapstick.

I wish I had better advice for you. Hang in there.

Hello! Tomorrow, mine will have been in for a week. My discomfort has decreased greatly. I also have TMJ so I was really scared as to how it would all "go down" but, so far so good!

Good luck to you!

Congratulations on your beginning treatment. I am just 2 weeks ahead of you, and started my second set of trays today. The pressure and mild pain is back, but if it progress like the first, it should be better in a few days. I hope you get fast relief from the TMJ, and that your discomfort also sub...

I got my trays today! I have 20 uppers and 20 lowers. So far so good for the most part. I have TMJ so I'm really curious to see how all of this will play out. I am experiencing discomfort as described in other posts but thanks to those posts I was prepared for it. It feels like a lot in my mouth rig...

I've also read that it is poor modality where extrusion is required, which is what I would guess will be needed with your molars. Her...

I had to have 13 spacers put in for 10 days. Then they shaved between a few teeth, did some more molds, and now I'm just waiting for my trays! Hopefully I'll have them by March 3 I'm told.

What stage of the game are you in? I haven't heard of any mouthpiece so I have no idea what that is.

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? Hello! Yes, I am getting Invisalign to ...

From one Jenny to another Jeni, thank you so much for your reply.

I have TMJ and constant jaw pain from an auto accident about 6 years ago. Is there anyone out there with TMJ type symptoms that has used Invisalign? Was it very painful for you? I am in the very early stages of this process (had my final molds done on Thursday) and I was curious how someone else is ...
