Thanks, just trying to see if that's what I have and it's not. I just have build up on my molar so no teeth touch.

Thanks again!

Congratulations Stephy! I've only had by bite turbos for two days and cannot wait to get them off. I'm glad you only had four weeks. My estimated time is three to six months.

Unlike Chris, my bite turbos are ceramic rather than metal. Ortho took nice pictures of them to show to his class at the university. I guess I should be flattered!!

Thanks for the congrats! Mine was made of metal. It was a real pain, but now that it's gone I have cement on my tooth and now that's annoying me!...lol

Great news that you don't have them anymore. They don't sound like much fun!
