tongue appliance

(1/4) > >>

bradhov:
As first step in my orthodontic treatment, my dentist and orthodontist recomended a tongue crib to help with some issues.  They want to get that addressed before any braces go on.  i just got the appliance today and it is quite an adjustment.  Ayone ever had this appliance on and if so, did you have issues wih drooling and talking?

bugbathe43:
I had mine for 7 months it was a struggle to talk and eat

bradhov:
Went to ortho today and they now want to make the appliance non removable and so are doing that next week.  Have to keep it in for 3 months which may delay the braces a bit.  Got the separators put in and have just started to be a bit painful. 

blue_bio:
Why do they put it in fixed?
Can you talk in the meantime without problems when wearing it?

bradhov:
They put it in field so it was easier to talk and wear longer.  They also are adding something to help my tongue resting at the top of my mouth
