Metal Mouth Message Board

yay i got my wire THIS IS SPAM for the first time today. the assistant said next time i'll probably get a thicker wire.

the only thing i forgot to do was ask what the molar bands in the back of my mouth are for. they're only purpose to me seems like they're there to scratch my tounge, but anyways, heres the mandetory pic

Sometimes the ortho will put hardware on that is to be used down the road. Are the bands not attached to the rest of the brackets by the wire? Generally the orthos use bands on the molars as opposed to brackets because they provide more stability and the molars are like the "grounding" teeth.

That's my best guess.

I can't comment on the bands because I have brackets on all my teeth.

Your teeth are looking good though. I love those green ligs...very vibrant

ive noticed some movement since yesterday!!! yay i cant explain how excited i am right now. any pain at all that im having, is totally worth it
