Metal Mouth Message Board

I am home from my ortho appointment and I will be getting them off Nov.15.
I will be getting clear retainer on top and bottom.

Also, they did not clip the extra wire in the back of my teeth after they put it in. Will it be ok as long as it does not cut into my mouth. Will the extra wire cause my teeth to shift.

Hi cNp-21. I had impressions made for a bite positioner last week. They took my wires out too. When she went to put them back in, she had to clean out the tartar. That evidently let the teeth shift some causing the wire to come out the last molar just enough to poke into my cheek in back. I kept wax on the spot until I could get in the next day and have it cut! Taking the wires out and putting them back in also caused rubbing brackets on my cheeks in new spaces... go figure!

Congratulations on the up coming debanding!
