Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks JCdamon3 - Several of my bottom teeth are worn and they aren't as white as I'd like but I think we're more critical on ourselves aren't we.

I agree - slightly more distant shots are so much better!! Perhaps I should have posted a bigger version of my avatar as that was taken further away!!

Like Karen I've had swelling where gaps have closed but If you have a lot it's possible there could be an underlying problem. If it doesn't get better within a few days I'd def have a word with your regular dentist.

Love LoobyLou xx

Aww we've made her go all shy!

Go Karen, Go Karen!

Congratulations on your progress Brandi - I know how sore elastics are but they do a good job!!

Hang in there!!

Aww Clo I really feel for you. You really are going through it aren't you!

I really hope these issues get resolved for you soon and you have the bite you deserve!

Hang in there, it WILL be worth it.

(Ps for the record I think so far your teeth are looking great).

You're teeth are looking lovely and lined up - just your bite that needs adjusting.

You look like you have an open bite and perhaps a bit of a cross bite but I'm sure you must be very close to the elastics stage.

Good luck - they're coming along just fine!

Thank you for your encouraging comments all of you. I feel my teeth look better when I look in the mirror but when I take close up shots I think they look really unflattering!! Yep KK my bite is natural in both pictures - that's something I am pleased with as to begin with I had a very deep bite. Th...

Hi Everyone, Just thought I'd post a couple of comparison pics from 4 months after having my braces on (Aug '05) and now (Aug '06). Aug '05 http://www.parkplacevilla.co.uk/temp.h1.jpg Aug '06 http://www.parkplacevilla.co.uk/temp.h2.jpg I'm not sure that there is as much progress as I would have like...

Yup - I have that problem now. I can't really chew on my left side at the moment and it sems to be alternating!

Woohoo that's great! I'm guessing they must be off by now - come on and get those piccys on here!!!!

Luv LoobyLou xx

It's more than a possibility that your teeth have moved already. It's surprising how quickly they move though be it tiny movements. I had an adjustment yesterday morning and about an hour afterwards I could already see a tiny bit of movement!

Good luck,

Luv LoobyLou xx

When I first got mine I felt like my lips stuck out a mile but after a couple of weeks they didn't feel any different. In fact now the feel like a completely normal part of my mouth.

I wouldn't have thought you'd be able to see yours a lot if you can't see our teeth...

Good luck!

Happy Birthday and Annivesary Betty Bat!!

Vanilla, many congratulations on your wedding! :-)o :-88 :banana: :D :dance: Here's to much happiness to you both!
