Hi
Anybody else going through this? They've done the exposure and put something on the back of the tooth kinda looks like a button or something, and they attatched a metal wire from my top arch wire to the button and they are trying to bring it down.
So far it has moved quite a bit but so have all my other teeth. I look worse now than I ever did.
At my last adjustment they stopped using the metal wire and they are now using some kind of thread. They also put in a stronger arch wire I guess to fix my slanted teeth.
This is really fustrating and I sometimes wonder if I should have just got an implant.
Anybody go through this with sucsess or did you end up with an implant? Any regrets?

Wow 6 months! That's great I've already had my braces on for 6 months and my tooth is down but it's not in place yet. My Ortho said that I have a 50/50 chance of it working. I don't really like thoose odds, but what can I do.Way Too Old For This wrote:nice teeth...I had mine exposed and brought successfully into place in a short 6 months. It is definitely worth it!
