Metal Mouth Message Board

Congrats on getting the extractions done!

Can't wait to see your teeth when you get your braces fitted!

Hi Angel, been reading up on your story and looking at your pics, am interested to see how they look at the moment!

Sounds like you got half your mouth to chew with comfortably. Hopefully by the time u get the other 2 teeth out, you're able to chew on the side which you got your first extractions done! Glad that the first extractions went quite smoothly. The bleeding sucks, i agree. By now i guess the bleeding ha...

Thanks ladies!
Yep can't wait to be able to expand on my current diet. The pain when i bite is slowly getting better i think.

I'll post progress pictures every couple months or so.

Angel, Glad to hear that after a couple weeks that you're able to eat everything!

I got braced today. For 20-24 months my teeth will be behind bars. Almost literally. Eating is so tough. I can't enjoy anything I eat and im reduced to yogurt and soup. I had to fight my way through a chicken sandwich and thats after I took off the crust. Cant bite without slight pain and there is d...

Don't dread the extractions :) The only part that hurts is the needle to inject the anaesthetic and that only la...

cheers sksk...you look gorgeous in your avatar...I couldnt find your thread, i followed your sig but you stopped updating that particular thread. Wow 4 weeks thats a fairly long wait in comparison. My ortho said I could get them fitted a week after the extractions. Had first 2 extractions today. The...

Hi everyone. I'm new here so ill start off with an intro. I'm male, 22 yo. After many years not caring, i decided my teeth looked bad enough for me to get braces to get them straightened. I'm go to the gym to lift weights 4 times a week and am a lil concerned about how braces will affect my eating, ...
