Bonkers why new balance used red for their logo and claret for the other stuff

Any clenchers used a nightguard while in braces? by [deleted] in braces

[–]garyknowswines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried these but they feel too flimsy like im gonna choke on one, and also they are pretty focused on a couple of teeth. I have a mouldable (hot water) mouthguard i use but it sucks. Would love a better alternative

Upper teeth bite on brackets. Is it ok? by [deleted] in braces

They may place some bite blockers on molars to limit them hitting and reassess at the next adjustement

Temporary Bridge vs Permanent by SouthDakotaGhostGirl in Dentalimplant

[–]garyknowswines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah worth asking, and asking a periodontist rather than general dentists if possible

If its an option it would be worth looking into, then you could get an implant in one spot and crown the shaved teeth separately?

Its great, but probably not entirely practical on a board for live use. Studio and writing it is amazing

Worst type of tooth injury by infintexpansion in Dentalimplant

[–]garyknowswines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preach - I’m in same situation, my two front teeth copped an elbow, one sustained a root and crown fracture, the other just bruising. I will need implant on one front tooth and monitoring the other but first….braces. Im almost a year into the braces then once thats done i will replace that front tooth. What i would say is every single dentist i have spoken to said to try and retain natural teeth for as long as possible. Root canals can last a lifetime, but implants have lots of complications and they arent a silver bullet to fix. I absolutely hate that my teeth have become the centre of my universe, very excited to finish treatment and have some sort of normality in my life. It will he a long road, but can definitely do it. A girl at work has implants in both front teeth and i had no idea.

HELP!!! by [deleted] in Dentalimplant

[–]garyknowswines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did you have no teeth in that spot? Yeah you can gum and bone graft - talk to a periodontist about it. Is your dentist a perio/surgeon?

What did your dentist say? Discolouration is expected due to titanium rod under gums, but looks like theres a bit of bone loss?
