Metal Mouth Message Board

aww sorry to hear your in some pain hehe I guess it was bound to happen at some point. I never found the pain to last anymore than two weeks really but I know everyone is different. Hope it goes away soon and I cant wait to see your progress pics

Hey Misery Long time no chat.. my braces have been okay actually once I got past the first two weeks after my first adjustment it was smooth sailing.. I got lots of nice gaps all over my mouth so I am almost hoping its time to say good bye to the expanders.. My next adjustment is this coming tuesday...

Hey Shannon.. its Shannon :lol: Thanks for popping by my story just thought I would check in and read up on yours! Sorry to hear your extraction surgery caused you some problems.. unfortunately as I have learned in braces your mouth will have a sore or ulcer from time to time.. salt water rinses are...

Hey there

Glad to hear your surgery went well your really on your way now, you will get all healed up and it will be braces time before you know it! You must be getting very excited knowing brace day is going to come so fast now!! Rest loads so you can heal up. Keep us posted on brace day

Hey Jenny I dont see much change in your top arch from your pics but im not an ortho so what do I know :lol: but your teeth do look really great!! Hopefully your ortho will get those two front teeth fixed up. I know its tough when they were straight a while ago and they are overlapping now... it has...

Hey Misery Just wanted to check in and see how things went after your second adjustment? Hope your teeth are treating you well. As for your question, im not sure I have only had one adjustment and they paid equal attention really to both arches but im sure it depends on which arch needs more work to...

Chris: sorry to hear your teeth just dont want to budge one side.. sucks when teeth are being stubborn, you should try to take a pic so I can take a looksie... as for my gaps I wouldnt say they are symmetrical.. on one side of the tooth the gap is huge and on the other side its smaller but its still...

Glad to hear things are getting better with your expanders... I just had a bad week with mine after an adjustment they cut me up but its getting better now and im really starting to see space.. so its all going to be worth it in the end

Hey Jenny

Your bottom arch is rounding out nicely!! I am really starting to LOVE braces as well! once you see the movement and things getting straighter its so exciting

Hey chris just posted on your thread but yeah im definitely seeing some huge gaps between some of my teeth I couldnt really get clear pics of them but im real happy to see the space and hopefully these expanders can come out soon! I think post adjustment it probably took me a week lol which was yest...

Hey Chris Cool new hardware.. I got some of those mini chains too on a few of my bottom teeth.. I didnt know what they were called lol so what are those twisty things? and what do they do? are they similar to the spring coils I have to make space between the teeth? my expanders have been okay they a...

Hey Misery Good luck with your second adjustment tomorrow!! I hope all is well and your seeing even more movement and can get that tooth in the AW... You will have to take more pics so we can see.. I sort of feel the same way as you that I am not seeing anymore movement but I still have a month to g...

Hey Catfish Thanks for popping by my story just read through yours and your bottoms are looking pretty good.. alot of movement for 4 months in I have to laugh about the pliers... early on when I was having problems with my bottom expander I had thoughts of trying to fix it myself like that lol but I...

Hey there Thanks for popping in my story... its hard to say from your pics you posted a week in whether there has been any movement, im sure there has just with the untrained eye a slight movement can be hard to see.. give it a few weeks and I am sure there will be noticeable difference.. thats why ...

Hi Everyone Thanks :D im really happy that others can see the movement as well.. today my teeth are pretty sore and achy although I expected it so im dealing with it okay... I figure give it another few days and I wont even notice the pain and pressure on my front teeth anymore.. keeping optimistic ...
