Metal Mouth Message Board

Hello everyone! Sorry I have been SUPER busy for the past month or so. First and foremost I want to send a HUGE thanks to Lynn for sending me my dentakit. It goes everywhere with me. I LOVE IT!!!!!! You rock my socks, Lynn! Next, an update...I had my 2nd adjustment yesterday, April 26th. On March 29...

I use a hair blow dryer. Put it on low and let it blow (from a good distance) on my teeth. This works good but you have to be quick. I love OrthoSil but you have to be sneaky putting it on.

Hi, I was scared about getting them too (I am 24, 25 on 3/28 )! I read this site the ENTIRE week before I got them. I have found this site to be informative, helpful and supportive. The people are GREAT!!! Welcome and I hope you get to meet lots of new and interesting people. Good luck with the brac...

I had to go to the Ortho this past Monday to get my wire clipped so it wouldn't poke me in my cheek anymore. Well, afterwards, he told me to use wax if it hurt me anymore. I told him that I loved the mint flavoered wax that they sell at Wal-mart for $.88. He then handed me a bunch of little purple c...

I am feeling a little better and I have not used any wax or taken any Advil. I am trying to stay away from those the best I can and "rough it". So, far I am doing pretty good but I think I am going to need an Advil before too much longer. I understand what you mean when you say your teeth ...

I am glad you are doing better. I had to run to the Ortho myself this morning because I had a wire poking me in my cheek. He had to pull on the wire some to get a good grip on it to cut it and itfelt like all my top teeth shifted to the left! That definitly hurt, so I am in pain again. he also gave ...

I am a week into these devices and I am feelng much better. I actually got to BITE into a waffle this morning. It did hurt so I am not planning on doing it much. I do have a litle crisis going on. On my upper right side the wire is poking me a little so I called my doc and made an appointment for Mo...

Thanks for welcoming me. :D I am feeling a little better today...er..tonight. My jaw doesnt hurt AS much and I can eat a little better. Earlier during the day on Sunday, I was starting to get a little sore on my upper rt where I have the prongs for the bands. All I did was take a little Alum to it a...

Thanks everyone for welcoming me. I feel like I belong here. When I say I hurt, people understand. If I tell my fiance that I am hurting he makes a face at me and calls me "Pottery Mouth" (in a loving way). He had Drop pin metal with molar bands for over 3 years, so he knows what I am goin...

Nothing happens if you swallow, that I can remember, it just tastes REALLY, REALLY bad. But I can say that I have used this method in the past and it truly is a "miracle". Let me know if you have tried it and how it worked for you.

I used to get a lot of canker sores when I was a child (and sometimes even in adulthood). My parent ALWAYS used POWDERED ALUM. You can find it in your neighboorhood supermarket spice isle. It cost about a dollar. All you have to do is wet your finger a little (to get the Alum to stick to it) and the...

Hi! :D My name is Leann and I have just been sentenced to a year in ceramics. This was PURELY my choice. I was told that I only needed to get them if I was cosmetically unhappy. I thought about it for almost a year and then I decided to choose an differnent Ortho than the one I had originally planne...
