Metal Mouth Message Board

Just came back from my d-banding and it feels sooooooooooooo awesome!!!!! If I could do back flips, I'd be doing them now.

I asked my ortho about the concerns regarding the Essix retainer and the possibility of it causing an open bite and not allowing my teeth to settle.
She said that is a possibility if you wear that retainer to much (over 8 to 10 hrs) and that is why I will only be wearing my at night. So I feel better about having the Essix.

I will be getting my pics after 5:00 p.m. today and will try to post them tonight.



BTW I remember someone asking about gifts for their assistants and I got my assistant and my ortho a box of Godiva Chocolatier. Not bad price wise 47.00 USD for both boxes.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Way to go!!!!!!!

We want pictures!

My teeth were not so bad before except for that right side on top and bottom. I was told if I let the bottom tooth stay so twisted I could have gum problems in the future. And so I was expecting to be in braces for one year but it took 19 months and 3 weeks. Thanks to everyone on the board for answered questions and support.

congratulations on your new grill! Looking good!
