Bite Turbos

#1 Post by bracemyself23 »

My top teeth feel like they are hitting my bottom brackets. My ortho thought I didn't need turbos but I am thinking maybe I should tell him what I am feeling. I don't want to chip my teeth. Do turbos work?

Little ramps on the back of your front teeth that keep your teeth from knocking together.

Oh ok, then yes I have those on my back teeth due to an my top teeth sitting on my bottom teeth, and my orthodontist didn't want my teeth hitting the brackets. It is very hard to chew because my teeth don't meet due to the turbos, so right now I have lost 3 pounds lol due to the very limited things I can try to smush up and swallow without choking to death. If your Ortho charges for the repairs, then I would inform them and have them put on rather than having to keep getting them fixed.
