Metal Mouth Message Board

No problem, thanks for the friendly feedback guys!

Hello everyone, long time no post. Its been over 2 years now and I should be getting these suckers off right around my birthday this July!! I have recently had to start wearing elastics right in front to correct a slight midline issue, but the ortho still says early to mid summer they will be off. S...

I remember back in the spring someone saying that she had made a "wax sausage" and covered her upper brackets with that. Wax Sausage? That was my nickname in high school...LMAO. Anyway, try a mouth protector (like they use in football or wrestling) it works great and is less messy. Not th...

Also, since no teeth need to be pulled, i am going to have them remove the silver fillings on 2 of the teeth that were going to get pulled and refill them with white fillings. Do they need to remove the arch wires for this or will they be okay where they are?

Well, good news.......i had my appointment on Friday and the ortho said that no extractions would ne needed. Thank God. I was scheduled to have two uppers and two lowers removed. He looked at the X-rays and said the bone and teeth look very much like they need to look. Man i am happy about that. Tha...

I have a recollection of Dan Akroyd saying "We mock what we don't understand" in Spies Like Us. So I know there is something to this and there is an expanding body of research. I'm not sure if the data is from well designed studies in refereed journals. dr.j Peculiar that you would use &q...

LMAO gable, the charlie and the chocolate factory one or this one? Your teeth are looking great by the way. Extractions could still be needed for your bite, but hopefully not because your teeth look great the way they are. Jenn LOL, that one. You get to keep your crazy avatar, and Lynn removes my d...

what do you think Dr. J? Your opinion would be appreciated.

Why do i have the sudden urge to go to Baskin Robins?

the mail lady is easy, just leave a letter in the box marked "mail lady" with a gift certificate or something inside. the trash guys generally get a case of beer left out at the end of the driveway with a bow on it..

I see more than that go out the window to Federal and State taxes every year, but i still get my trash men and mail lady a Christmas gift. Just makes for a nice smooth relationship, and if it means i get a little better service because of it.....thats whats its all about right? I dont think your a g...

For those who dont celebrate Christmas.....ignor this post...:) Who here has or thinks its a good idea to get a little something for the Ortho and assistants for the holidays? It cant be a bad thing right? A little red apple for the teacher so-to-speak? If you have in the past, what have you got? I ...

not really, the ortho said i had a pretty good bite pattern from the onset of things at least from the bi-cuspids back. Plus, he was talking about extractions on top AND bottom, 4 total. That would basically keep the same size offset just smaller. All this is making me very eager to talk with him ag...

You know Gable it's hard to tell without seeing the rest of your face, but your teeth certainly look so much "younger" now! I wonder if you and others of us will end up looking a little more youthful when our treatment is finished? Not really sure i want to post a pic of my whole face...L...

Pay no attention to the "scruffy" me, i usually take these in the morning before i get cleaned up. I never thought i would be posting these pics on the net when i started taking them. Anyway, you can see that everything is lining up, I still need a little bit of shaving on the middle teeth...
