Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / November 2004Advanced Lightwire Orthodontics
My dentist has suggested that I undergo Advanced Lightwire Functional orthodontic treatment. She says it will help open my small mouth and fix the way my bottom teeth are chipping my top teeth, without having to extract any teeth. Also, I can keep wearing the wires at night so that the teeth don't move back. I am nearly 60 years old, much to my shock, and have fibromyalgia. But I'm very active despite all that!

Hopefully, you'll get some good feedback. Myself, I would say that there is nothing stopping you from googling this term and seeing what pops out.
