Metal Mouth Message Board

I did 4 premolar extractions and now wearing rubber bands for a few months.
And I noticed a little bit of my bone is poking out of my gums on right side. I asked my ortho and he said don't worry it's nothing.
I said "Should I see a dentist to check ?" and he disagreed.
After a month, i can see that happening in left side too. Not too much but I'm worried.
Anyone has same experience ? Is that something to be worried about ?

I've never had it, but I've read about something similar to what you are describing and it supposedly does not need any treatment and is generally harmless. Google "mandibular tori". Is this what you have?

Also, if it would put your mind at ease, I'll say just go and schedule an appointment with your dentist to get it looked at.
