Metal Mouth Message Board

Well it's been awhile since I have wrote. My teeth aren't too bad pain wise. But I BROKE A BRACKET already!!! Well I didn't break it but it came off. :( It is the very back one on my top right side. I don't have to have those metal sleeves on my teeth just the brackets. But yeah I was SOOO mad. On t...

I hope you had a good appointment yesterday! I am new to your story but you are like me. I was very detirmined to get the braces. I didn't have the money to jus t"get them on as soon as I decieded I wanted them" I started my story on arch wired in September and just now braced on the 16th....

I just turned 24 and decided to get them. I'm not in college but have a 5 year old daughter and an almost 3 year old son. I figured I might as well take the time now while I have the money (you know before my kids need cars, and braces of their own... and college money and yadda yadda) I am glad I t...

So, I haven't wrote in a few days so I figured I would let everyone know how I'm doing... I actually don't even notice my braces at all anymore unless Im eating. They aren't as bad as I thought they would be. I know when I go to get a tightening it's going to hurt like a complain but as of right no...

Well 3 days down and I'm already pretty used to the braces. Sometimes they get to me, mostly when eating. But other than that they aren't bad. I can't wait to see some results. I know it's going to be painful but I'm regardless excited :) I will def ask my ortho about a splintek I think it would rea...

Your gap doesn't look bad at all! Congrats... You're almost there and before you know it u will have your braces on!

My Daughter LOVES THEM! I got pink and purple on the bottom because those are my daughters fav colors. She keeps saying "when I get bigger I want your braces' lol she's 5, so she's got awhile lol. Sorry for my horrible grammar last post... WOW did I mess up a lot. It's just because it was late ...

Feb 16, 2010 was officially my br[url]ace day! I was so nervous that I went to bed at midnight and woke up at 3:20 because I didn't want to sleep in and be late... And I was nervous.... As I sat there I wondered if this was the right option for me. I am a very indecisive person when it comes to my b...

I am about to get a Schwartz (lower jaw) expander... Do they work real well? Or did you not notice a big difference if you don't mind me asking. Personally I would rather just have teeth pulled but my ortho assures me that the jaw expander will make my smile wider/prettier and the 4 months in the ex...

I am 23 and about to gt a lower jaw expander? Is this okay? I really feel uneasy about getting it because I have onyl heard of children getting them. Also is it going to make my jaw wider like on the ouside of my face? Will it be noticable?

So, I should hopefully have my braces in 3 weeks, depending on how much I will need down and if I need spacers etc... I have a dentist appointment, my ortho is my dentist also. i will talk with him and see what we can do. But my appt is Tuesday. I'm really excited and I know braces can sometimes be ...

My name is Kristyn I'm 23 years old and have very little enamel on my teeth so my DDS and I have decided that braces will be good so I will quit grinding my enamel off. I go in for my first appointment this upcoming Monday to get an exam for braces and set up all my appointments, I have several fill...
