Metal Mouth Message Board

I think the replies to this are very interesting, most people think it is positive. That is great! Question: do folks feel there is a 'connection/unity' between people who wear braces? haha, I would imagine a 34 year old guy with ligs like that isn't going to be too shy about talking about his brac...

Looks like the marketing people nailed another one

That is pretty cool. What exactly happened with tooth 11 and how did they fix it? It looks like it was up under your nose and no tooth was through the gum.

See what kind of personal questions you get when you post something like that :p

I haven't had any strangers talk to me about my braces. I think that would feel a little uncomfortable, even if they were braced themselves. Well, maybe not if they were a cute girl, and there are lots of cute girls in braces

You've gotta take pictures and compare every couple of weeks. You'll never see anything staring in the mirror every few minutes.

This thread is the perfect opportunity to make some observations outside of the context of discussing a particular individual's case. Wouldn't want to offend anyone in particular :) There are quite a few threads I read here that make me think that the person's issue is not their teeth but something ...

I am in a similar situation. They put molar build-ups on my back teeth instead of the bite turbos on the front teeth. I'm not sure why they choose one over the other. My case is a deep overbite. The molar build-ups at least allow my upper first molars to touch the build up but the surface of the bu...
