Metal Mouth Message Board

It's been just over a day and I can already feel that the bite in my mouth is different with some teeth not touching that once could and some teeth touching that once could not. Of course you can't see anything but it's nice that at least it feels different in there. Weird isn't it? I'm noticing th...

Thank you Opera Gal.

I did eventually find that. Though still have questions. I can't for the life of me navigate to the proper area on the ticker site to get this done.

I tried once to make a ticker for this, and somehow managed to screw it all up.

HellPpPp! *laugh*

Brika, your pictures made me grin ear to ear. I am so excited for you - look at all that movement already! VERY inspirational!

I love your pictures - especially how you turned them into flash animation. Makes you feel like your actually getting to watch them move.

I've been using it for months, and put it on before I went to sleep last night. Woke up this morning and noticed it left a bracket kinda "gunky".

Just curious if anyone here uses it too.

Hi Brace Buddy! I was thinking of you yesterday, when I was getting braced. I checked this morning to see if you checked in, though you hadn't yet - so I thought I'd hop in to check again! I can't see your picture - not sure if there's something wrong with the code... Did you get top and bottom brac...

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask. I really wasn't sure. I was wondering if someone wouldn't mind helping me set up a ticker to put in my signature. I love the ones that say "42 days since I've been braced!" I just got braced yesterday and would love to add the ticker. though I ca...

This might sound funny, but if I had a teething ring, I would use it.... Hahah! Seriously, the pressure seems to help bring some relief. My sister mentioned to me that they make teething rings for puppies and I could use one of those, because all the hardware in my mouth shouldn't be able to punctur...

Congrats on getting braced!

I smile wider now too!

Everyone laughs when they see I picked PINK. I like it.

I asked my husband last night, when he first saw me braced, "How do you like your 13 year old bride?" Buhahaha!!!!

What's interesting is that on the left side, the power chain is literally wrapped...

I would love to figure out one of the tickers for home long I've been braced! I can't seem to get it right...

I go back in on April 1st.

Oh and they used copper - and I also have tubing over the wire, where it breaches the canyons from the two extrction sites..lol

Tom,

Reading your story made me smile! I'll definetely be follwing your progress and rooting for you! Congrats!

The assistant laughed and said that I was getting the works and that I would know what most everything there was, bc there my treatment I was going to have most of it...lol I have two power chains. She said that they don't ever usually put power chains on, when they first add the braces. Though they...

Thank you Tom!


Didn't get home from classes until late last night, though I'll try to get some pics taken and posted today!

2 1/2 hours, then I hopped out of the chair and drove like mad to make it in time for my presentation I had to give in class. It went GREAT. The only time it hurt was when they were dealing with the metal bands. Other then that, just one time because when they dry the teeth out, it can make then sen...
