our dentist referred my son nearly a year & a half ago :eek: so hope they don't drag it out any longer

Thats quite a while...I must admit we were referred quite quickly but then it was decided once we were under the orthodontists care that they would wait a year to see how the teeth settled down....so we waited at that point.


We had lots of complex issues not only with wayward teeth but also the alignments of the jaw which was causing breathing problems and in particular sleep aponea...


It ended up being treatment for about 18 months but only 12 or so wth the brace after that it went to nightly clear retainers...


We now get a good nights sleep and he's got straight teeth too...so whilst it was a bit of a faff at times it did install the practice of good brushing of teeth etc and now hes really pleased he stuck with it!

What age is your son cheerleader? My DS2 was referred a few years ago, but it's only now that all his adult teeth have grown in that he's ready for a brace. His teeth are so bad they affect his speech his top teeth are catching on his lip.
Unfortunately he gags when anything is put in his mouth, I think it's a sensory problem. He's always had it. We only got as far as them trying to make the mould of his teeth and they had to give up
So Ive no option but have it done under GA, which is quite unusual but not impossible. He's had to have all his major dental treatment done under GA. The paediatric dental team at the local hospital are going to do it privately, they won't fund it. I'm looking at around £5000:eek:
I feel his problem is bad enough that I can't leave it. Why give him another problem to cope with when it can be fixed, is the way I see it.
Not looking forward to the bill though

he'll be 13 next month FC

:eek: i hope i don't have to do that with DS2 :eek: i have had a chat with him again this afternoon about possibly having to have teeth taken out by our dentist & he asked me if he will be asleep if they do it & had to be honest with him & tell him he'd be awake but they'd give him an injection so it won't hurt & would just feel them pulling on the tooth
i bet you're not looking forward to the bill :eek: do they let you pay in installments? definitely worth you paying if it helps him

Is it wrong to like the smell of paraffin? Also I love this time of year when people start painting their fences with creosote

When my sister had a brace , she is 48 this year, they were like a plate and you took them out each night:eek:

:o:o I still have nightmares of mine being in my mouth & pulling my teeth

Mine had 2 gaps on the sides & when you ate, the mushed up food would lodge between the brace & the roof of my mouth :p:p:p

My DN is undergoing a course of treatment/operations to extend her lower jaw.
At the moment she has had teeth removed & has a mouth full of metal. Unfortunately some bits cut her tongue badly & we are trying to think of what could be put on the sharp bits to stop this?
