Metal Mouth Message Board

Can't tell if you were being sarcastic , but if you aren't staying hydrated the lip balm won't work anyways. It also keeps your braces from scratching up the insides of your mouth.

I haven't posted in forever, but I wanted to give my advice to you! 10 days with nothing CAN set you back a loooong time. I went 7 days without a retainer (DH accidentally threw it away, but my fault for wrapping it in a napkin...even though I told him it was in the napkin... :lol: ) I was waiting t...

Has anyone tried this yet??
I need to get a retainer cleaner today and can't decide which one to get between Retainer Brite and DentaSoak.

Haha, thanks you guys are so great
I am definitely getting more nervous now with only 4 days to go. How are you guys doing now?

Thank you guys so much! I AM very excited! I can't believe how much my teeth have changed since then Definitely worth it.

I get my braces off next month and wanted to show my progress. First picture is now. I have elastics on both sides, wire ties, and a bend in the wire at the top to rotate a tooth a little more. The second pic is obviously before I got my braces. :oops: My midline was off by 7mm and I had some crazy ...

Thank you!!

My braces are supposed to be coming off next month, so what do you guys think?? It's been a long journey with braces, but rewarding! The difference in how my teeth look is so drastic, it's kinda creepy to look at the first pictures. :oops: I know my teeth need to be shaped a little in front, they lo...

I am! Woohoo!! May 25th after 3 years also.

Hello! It's been a while since I've posted and I finally have a debrace day after 3 years of treatment! Woohoo! BUT! I'm actually almost freaking out. :shock: While I'm excited to be getting them off, I'm really scared too. What if my teeth relapse?! What if they look horrible and they aren't ready ...

I was told a couple of days ago that my debrace date will be the 25th of May! Woohoo!

Yes! Wear your elastics! I put my treatment time back by about 6 months or so by not wearing my elastics and I would probably already be finished with my treatment if not for that. It sucks to be delayed by that much! Don't do that to yourself, hehe.

Cool, thanks for the tip I am about to buy another electric toothbrush, my other one died a long time ago and I never replaced it. Lately I feel like my teeth just aren't getting clean enough.

Hersheys with Almonds...or...Hersheys SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM with Almonds and Toffee! My absolute favorite are Riesen chocolate candies :P They are soooo good. I've tried eating corn on the cob and it was easy enough without feeling like I was going to break anything. But it felt like ALL of the c...

Have you spoken to your ortho? There are alternative products they can use. I'm not sure about the powerchains but they do have elastics that aren't made with latex.
