Do you learn on here? From your ortho? Or both?
Moderator: bbsadmin
This board has been awesome for learning everything about braces. I talked yesterday with a woman who just got her braces off a few months ago and I was explaining to her how the archwires do the work. She wore braces for 2 1/2 years and had no idea how they worked! And I certainly wouldn't either if it wasn't for here. I know I can ask my ortho anything, but I actually find I haven't needed to yet because I haven't had any questions that haven't been answered by just reading through the posts -- mostly in answer to questions I never would have thought to ask!

I learn from both sources.
Since my ortho's practice is mostly kids who just sit there and take it, I think he was initially surprised when I had so many questions about my treatment.
He was curious as to where I got my information and has since checked into Metal Mouth. I have made some comments on a few issues I was having and he was terrific to explain why things would/would not work for me. I totally appreciate both places-you guys ROCK!!!![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!
Don't you wonder sometimes how many orthos actually visit this site, just "lurking" without posting for fear they may be inundated with questions!He was curious as to where I got my information and has since checked into Metal Mouth. :
