Metal Mouth Message Board

Ha! - you aren't likely to need those elastics again anytime soon! Honestly though - what a really lovely result you have ended up with! I love the way he has angled your front teeth - it just could not be more perfect. You must be like a Cheshire Cat smiling all the time at the moment - which will ...

Hi Cathy - what an absolutely fabulous result!!!! I think your teeth look just beautiful - its just incredible the difference from before to after - absolutely stunning! Your ortho is obviously a really really good one! So thrilled for you - you haven't half been through it with all those different ...

Completely agree, you make a really good point in raising this. My twelve year old daughter just came out of metal braces, and has had to go straight back into them! Very long story, but she still needs some movement that only fixed brackets can achieve for her growing bite. Invisalign would never a...

Hi Cathy Not a single swear word in sight that I can recall!!! Although I am sure they hear them all the time in High School these days anyway! I hope you are going to do a "Hey Buckey" and post the photos of your newly debraced self once your sentence is over! How beautiful was she! Absol...

HI Cathy - so lovely to read that your date to be set free is in sight! My 12 year old has LOVED your story so much, she gets debraced in just one weeks time now, and she has followed you right the way through since she began. Its funny how she has fixed upon your story in particular out of all - I ...

To be honest - I wouldn't be happy either. Your bite looks open at the front, and I would want a better closed teeth smile aesthetically than you have. Is it that your orthodontist is concerned regarding the implications of any more excessive treatment time in braces, rather than being satisfied wit...

Not boring at all - its great to see your progress!! Looking really good - you can really see how lovely your teeth are going to look at the end of this. Good luck

It looks like you are nearly there but just not quite yet? The thing that would concern me most, is the position of your front tooth, the one that he sounds to have had difficulty in positioning properly? The lowers are quite good, but still look like they need a little fine detailing. But I would s...

Hi Tink B :D Your ortho sounds really great - exploring all options before considering extraction, it sounds like you have a sound plan in place there for your little girl, as you will know that if you do indeed end up with extractions for her, then you tried every which way before doing so. Have ma...

Hi Tink B! I too have a nine year old daughter awaiting braces, my twelve year old daughter is almost done! Her braces come off in late June. Feel exactly as you do - no pre molar extraction for either of them, and luckily the orthodontist agrees or I would have done exactly as you would and searche...

I think your concerns are really valid - it does look like that maybe when they have been closing all your spaces - the levelness of your teeth has been affected? It looks like you just need a bit more detailing and finishing - particularly with that front tooth as you mention. They can often do tha...

Great story - fantastic for everyone trying to decide between fixed and removable braces. What a shame you missed the funding on the NHS - same where I am too in the UK - my 12 year old daughter didn't qualify for NHS funding, and is now in fixed braces costing £2500. The majority of her friends at ...

Your difference already is fantastic! You can see already what a great result you are going to have - your teeth already are really lovely, and once you have had the surgery and it all lines up - oh my it will be beautiful

What a beautiful result! You must be thrilled!

My God Cathy, this really is an endurance test for you!!! Just when you are about to think its coming to an end.....!
Your teeth look great, fingers crossed those braces are off soon
