Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey Ken, Thanks for stopping by my page! You were right, my teeth have still been moving, although it's very subtle changes which can be annoying lol, I want to SEE it. It's so weird how nothing will hurt and then suddenly one tooth will hurt for a little while one day, I love when this happens beca...

Snowglobe- Yum the roasted veggies sound delicious, thanks for the tip! I have been going sans croutons on my salads, haha you sound like my husband though, he absolutely has to have them. :) Update- Well it has been 8 days now I think, and life is definitely much better than last week!! My mouth h...

Paperbackhead, I'm glad you are almost all better!!! I am pretty much in the same boat as you w/ pressure mostly only if I bite down now. Although sometimes randomly things will just feel tight for awhile again, I like that though, I was getting worried they had stopped doing anything! lol I can che...

Princessfunnybook, that is too funny because I also ate Tacos last Sunday night for the same reason!! Great minds think alike :P Yay Wednesday is so soon, that is great, we are very close in terms to where we will be in our treatment, I can tell you what a week later will probably be like for ya alo...

Hi Princessfunnybook, congratulations on starting the process! When do you get braced? I just did myself on this past Monday, it was pretty intense the first couple of days, but it has steadily gotten better and it is only Friday morning. It is so worth it and I'm proud of you for overcoming your fe...

Snowglobe, Thanks for your feedback, glad to know I am not alone with the glue issue, I guess it is an incentive to brush ALOT in the hopes that it'll wear away quicker. :) I also agree that you will deserve whitening when all of this is done, I plan on doing it for sure myself. I want to do laser w...

Hey Muffin, Congrats on making the decision to get a beautiful smile! I just got my braces on this past Monday and am still adjusting, but still super excited to be on my way.

Well here are my pictures from Monday when I got my braces put on, I am very happy with the colors so far. However, my mouth no longer closes all the way right now from one of my bottom centrals rising up, it now crashes into my top central, OUCH, not fun when trying to chew. Hopefully something hap...

Paperbackhead- My pain has mostly been to the bones in my face, jaw, cheek bones, sinus cavity, headaches etc. I started taking Aleve instead of ibuprofen and that helped ALOT! I do have soreness in my teeth pretty bad when I chew and have to watch what I eat or else it gets really achey and the me...

Hey so is it normal to have like discoloration to the teeth around brackets? From different reading on the site I am thinking this is from the glue painted on the teeth before the brackets are attached? Does this go away?? Not too happy about that because my teeth were looking alot whiter since reti...

yj207 - Thanks for the suggestions, I did indeed indulge in some ice cream last night which did make my mouth feel nice. Mike - Thanks for the well wishes, I am trying hard to keep smiling, but sometimes I've been feeling a little self conscious at work today! I keep getting people who want me to o...
