Metal Mouth Message Board

Sounds like exactly my situation. In fact when i first read it, I was wondering if this was one of my old posts! I have a bump way up in my gums above my left front tooth which also is a crown. They took xrays and it looks like both of my front teeth have to have root canals (both crowns) but I can'...

I wanted to know if anyone had (clear) braces with any fake teeth and how the debonding went? My two front teeth are fake (caps) and I have clear braces on top and at the ortho's office they are nervous that my caps my be damaged. So just wondering if anyone had to go through the same thing?

sorry, i posted a pic twice, here's the other earlier pic of my lower teeth

Hi, I mostly wanted to say that I like you aviator! I also had crowding and I had the option to get extractions or to slim my teeth. I opted for extractions because I also didn't know how my teeth will fit. I don't regret it but everyone's mouth is different. Here are some progress pics. The first o...

If you were going to go on a first date without the person knowing you had braces, like a blind date, meeting through the internet, or in my case going to see my ex after years. (ok, it's not a first date, but you get the point!) Should you forewarn the person you have braces? Just so they know what...

hey, congratulations on your decision on getting braces. You might be kind of cranky and miserable for the first week at most when you get braces. I went to visit my parents right when i got my braces on and my stepdad thought I was depressed because I rarely talked but it was the canker sores more ...

colors are fun! I actually started with blue colors and it turned out pretty cool and next week I'm in for an adjustment and was thinking pink! Keep us updated how your braces are coming along, even how it was getting them on!

wow! I think you made the right decision and will be so much happier in the long run deciding to take the braces route. And your ortho! - I think some invisalign othos are stubbern about giving up a patient to braces. Your anxiety about wearing braces will lessen everyday. I was seriously shaking wh...

Yah that's what i was wondering. I'm going to whiten my "real" teeth and then match the caps to the newly whiten teeth. I'll probably whiten them at the dentist's office first. Then I wasn't sure afterwards, but yah, you're probably right. Just whiten them at home to keep them matching. I ...

ha ha, thanks! Hopefully someday they will look good as my hair!

Just got to keep telling myself it'll be worth it!

Hello all, I finally figured out to post some pics but they're links, oh well.. These are some before I got my braces. My problem was with crowding and had to have four of my bicuspids removed. http://www.solisearch.net/ims/pic.php?u=201915RDW2&i=128328 http://www.solisearch.net/ims/pic.php?u=20...

hi there! We're kind of in the same boat. I get my braces on tomorrow! I'm nervous and excited! I got four teeth extracted last Thursday and it really didn't hurt! So what is your treatment plan? What kind of braces did you get? I'm 27 years old and I'll be getting ceramic on top and metal on bottom...

Hi! I guess I'm kind of in the same boat as you are! I havn't gotten braces on yet, next month, the 28th! But I have to get 4 teeth extracted, top and bottom bicuspids. That will be on June 17th. I also have to get metal braces on top and bottom. I just turned 27 last month and boy I wish I got brac...

thanks! I am nervous, but I know I will be so much happier with my teeth!

sorry the pics are small, i guess i'm not sure how to post the actual pics with the message
