[@DrGregAsatrian]

Oh no ! so sorry all you guys have had such a terrible time with them!

[@risssantiago6471]

In the first week wearing a biteplane I feel the pressure in my jaw and yes it creates space at the back of my teeth and that will cause you to just swallow the food and can't chew the food properly. Now that 1 month has passed I have seen changes. Those teeth at the back of my mouth started touching each other. Now I can chew properly. Thanks to your explanation. 🫡

Binge watching because they've given me all these various appliances to wear along with my braces. lol I have a severe scissor bite and they're trying allll the things to correct it. Surgery route wasn't ideal. Invisalign didn't work. Braces have given me substantial improvement but it doesn't look like I'll be able to get a full correction.

With this bite plate, I can't talk properly and my speech is just so weird. The worst thing is, I can't chewwww at all since my molars dont touch at all. Now i can only chew with my front lower teeth. And i have to put this in for min 6 months. Okay i think i'm losing weight for sure since i can't eattt at all.

I need someones opinion! I have a pretty big gap between my two front teeth and I don't like it. I can get it fixed with braces(we don't have to pay anything, because where I live, braces are free until you're 18) I'm thinking is it worth the pain? I'm just scared that when I am an adult, I will regret not taking the braces while they were free😖 So if you were me, would you take them?

[@Yella1697]

hi I would do it if I were you. I’m 22 years old and I just got my braces about 2 months ago. I wasn’t able to get braces when I was younger because they’re not free where I am, and they’re pretty expensive. It can cause some discomfort, but it’s not HORRIBLE. But it differs for each person. I think it would be a good idea to get them, you won’t regret it. You can always talk to your orthodontist if you have any questions about the whole process.

I just got my play today and I have a big lisp and I need to have it on for 9 months 😢

[@htemenmada]

TLDR: If there is any other way, avoid these like the plague. The reality of this shit: My bite plate wasn't removable. I've been unable to speak without a lisp, bite or chew for months. It doesn't hurt, but I'd still compare it to a wisdom teeth removal every two weeks for months, because it sucks that much. I stuffed wax under it to stop the lisp, so that my colleagues and costumers could understand my speech. But if I bit on it too hard it bent and squashed the wax and the lisp was back. So I didn't bite on it at work (or if I did, I had to instantly replace the wax) making it utterly useless for at least 9-10 hours a day. Furthermore, I had to learn to swallow anything without chewing. My digestion didn't like that...

No such thing as a dumb question! Was it a little green dot on the actual metal part of the braces? They are just guides that fade away over time.
