Metal Mouth Message Board

just a suggestion but try to ask the girl (or guy) that is working on your teeth. I almost never as my ortho many questions cause he gives me a bunch of dr terms that I dont' get. So after he leaves the room I ask the girl doing my braces "What does that mean?" or "what does that do?&...

I have clear on the top and metal on the bottom. I have never really had a big problem with it. You can see them when I smile but most of the time it's not noticable. I'm glad you are going to give it a chance. Once you get the wire the tops become a little more apparent and you can see that it's no...

Well I had my appt on Friday and the ortho said we are getting towards the end! I have 1 space to close.

Hi! My name is Lacey and I have braces. I have ceramic clear on the top and regular metal on the bottom. I have had braces for almost 5 years! I am so ready to get them off. The bottom teeth are finish, I just got my bottom retainer about a month ago. But we are still waiting on top ones. I will be ...
