Metal Mouth Message Board

hey everyone! i have been a member of this community for about 5 years now and i have taken off my braces back in 2008.

I have experienced symptoms very soon as i started dental work. My fillings were the very beginning and then when the braces were on (the brackets are made from nickel) i was very very depressive. it sucked!

I am going to tell my dentist that on monday i will want to remove the filling out of my mouth because it causes symptoms towards my health

have anyone here recieved any allergic response to their braces?

here is a website with lots of info written by a dentist http://www.dentalwellness4u.com/index.html

I have a nickel allergy; hence I require titanium brackets(ended up being cheaper to just do invisalign). I think modern fillings tend to be a nonmetallic white composite material. You could ask about replacing your metal fillings with that, as you'll need to replace them with something.

how were you diagnosed with nickel allergy? i got my braces all the way in 2006 and i got a filling a few weeks before my braces were put in and ever since i started feeling sick. I have alot of "psychological" allergy responses i guess you can say. I just havent been the person I once was

Would anyone happen to know the average price of having a filling removed? I only have 1.

Before I had my braces put on I had to have a tooth pulled and a week later had all my metal fillings removed and replaced with something else. My dentist said years ago there was a risk of mercury poisoning with metal fillings so he suggested removal. I've had no problems with braces (nickel)
