has anyone had molar buildups, those bumps of cement on your back teeth that keep you from bighting off your bottom front brackets?

thanks, chris

thanks or the reply, that alleviates my fears a bit. did it feel really wierd that only your back teeth touched? and did it mess up speaking at all? i think this sounds like a better option than the turbos on the back of front teeth. that has got to screw up ones speaking :(
anyone else have other experiences.
thanks, chris

I had this, and recently had it taken off.

When I did, it was the weirdest feeling ever. I just couldn't close my mouth. I couldn't work out where to put my jaw, it was all over the place for a couple of days.

Strange.
