Metal Mouth Message Board

Feelin' good- just got the teeth cleaned and had the opportunity to snap a couple photos before the wire went back on. I got a powerchain today to close the gap in the front, and a new wire to continue working on that slightly rotated front tooth. 7 more months to go!!

How does the power chain feel? Aching straight from the get go, or does it build up gradually?

I got a power chain on my bottom teeth as a last ditch effort before next appointment. It took 4 hours for my pain to set in it's easing up a little, thank the lord.

Sounds fairly similar to when I get a wire change. It's a 3 hour trip each way for me to attend an appointment, so I always stop off and get myself a big tasty meal (and a beer ) before the trip back. The ache starts a little on the way back but doesn't really kick in till i get home, or sometimes even the next day.
