Metal Mouth Message Board

Thank you! Oh you're so close, i'm sure those 10 months will fly by :D Mine haven't discoloured, but I was super obsessive with my teeth cleaning aha. I think as long as you've kept your teeth clean and have used inter-dental brushes you should be okay for colouring :) I'm not sure, I haven't heard ...

Okay, they're off! Actually, I got them off on the 2nd of April so i've been brace free for 22 days now. :jump: The brace removal process was really easy, and my appointment only took about 25 minutes for brace removal and two sets of molds - probably my least favourite part of orthodontics. I then ...

Congrats on getting braced! Love your colour choices.
The pain will subside soon enough. Once you start seeing movement it makes the pain and soup diet worth it

Hi guys! Just a quick update as i'm now in the home stretch officially! :) I have one more appointment on the 16th March just to check everything's okay and then I have my de-bonding appointment on the 2nd April! :-* :-* I'm so excited, it feels like i've had my braces on forever! I'm looking forwar...

Hi guys. Woah can't believe it's been 9 months since I last updated! I have a very rare few days off and I also have an ortho appointment this afternoon so I thought i'd just post a few pictures of where my teeth are at right now. http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x453/littlebabble/023-crop.jpg ht...

Thanks guys! Its nice hearing (well, reading) nice things.. because its my mouth i don't think i notice the changes as much!

Stepher - you'll be shocked at how quick your teeth move! & congratulations on getting braced!

Wow, so i've now been braced for over a year! My braceaversary was the 19th February (how the hell did I miss that?) Which hopefully means i'm over half way through my treatment, yaay! Just one little photo to show today from my last adjustment which was a week ago.. http://i77.photobucket.com/album...

Okay so here is where I started, last February. After spacers but before extractions.. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j73/afterthe_end/Beginning.jpg And heres where I am now (well, on the 14th January after my last adjustment) Almost a year later... http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j73/afterthe_...

Wow, your teeth are looking fantastic! And such great news from your ortho, you must be so excited!

Just thought i'd write a quick (very belated) update with some even more belated pictures. Infact these pictures were taken when I got back home from my last adjustment on the 7th October (hence the black and orange for Halloween!) I was supposed to have an adjustment on the 10th December but I had ...

Wow, didn't realise i'd been MIA for so long - sorry guys! However its nice to have came back to see such nice comments on my story :D Tons of exciting non-dental things have happened since I last posted; I got a new job, passed my driving test, bought myself a car and started full time at universit...

I had my.. fourth (??) adjustment this morning at 9:45, and to be honest it wasnt all that eventful. I still have in the same wire and power chains but have had new ligs put on and a kind of elastic band over the wire on my front teeth which I assume is being used to close up the gap between my fron...

Okay I realise i've been MIA for a while in updating my journey but to be honest there isnt much to update with. Unless you like gaps. Lots and lots of gaps - my mouth is full of them - okay, 5 :oops: - but they're all pretty visible. Its made biting things like sandwiches a bit of a pain again, bec...

Thats some great movement, no wonder you're so pleased. Just imagine what the thicker wire will do
Try not to dwell on not getting your braces earlier - i'm sure we all wish that we had (I know I do!) but the main thing is that you have them on now

I know, its amazing how quickly they work. I had my adjustment at 10.05 in the morning, and by about 3pm I had about a millimetre gap. I got really excited when my ortho sent her assistant to get some powerchains haha. Not much really to update on - just a few gaps in my upper front teeth from where...
