Metal Mouth Message Board

I too have pretty much eaten anything I want. I haven't tried an apple yet solely for the fact that I'm too lazy to slice it all up! I didn't try gum for about 2 months until a friend said he was fine chewing gum while braced, I'm now addicted again! I also agree that you should chow down on a huge ...

How exciting for the both of you! Be sure to post pics when they're off!

I noticed today I've just passed the 4 month mark so thought it was time to take a progress picture to compare. I was so amazed! I honestly can't believe how much my teeth have changed in such a short amount of time. I feel so silly about being so apprehensive about getting this treatment. Anyway, j...

That's crazy! I had to wait years to get mine after my initial consultation (nhs waiting list) good luck with your journey, it's so worth it!

Hi! I hope you start seeing movement as quickly as I did! I'm only 4 months in and I'm amazed at the change. Good luck on your journey, this website has helped me out a lot!

I've just brushed and my gum started bleeding quite a bit. Once I'd swished it all away I noticed it was just in between 2 of my bottom teeth. One of the teeth which looks as though it has twisted a little more into place and another which seems to be in the same position. (had an adjustment a week ...

There was 2 months between getting my braces on and my first scheduled adjustment. I got so excited to go in for it then when I got there it had been canceled because my ortho's flight had been delayed. They rescheduled me in 6 WEEKS later. So that's 3 1/2 months altogether till my first adjustment...

I couldn't whistle anyway!

So I went for my first adjustment today, 2 months after getting my braces put on. Got to the hospital where my clinic is located at, was so excited to get them tightened because I've barely had any pain after the first 3-4 weeks.. well, my appointment had been canceled because he was stuck in Liverp...

Hey guys, I'm new here. :) I'm 22 from England and FINALLY getting round to getting braces to fix overcrowding and high canines. I had 4 teeth extracted a few weeks ago and get my braces on Tuesday morning. At first I was fully nervous and dreading it but after reading through a whole bunch of stori...

Thank you both, I'm glad I've found this forum, I feel better already after reading through some posts x

I'm 22, getting braces for the first time in a couple weeks and I'm pretty nervous, don't know what to expect. I've needed them since I was a young teen to fix high canines on the top and overcrowding on the bottom. I had 4 teeth extracted last week and get the braces put on October 5th. Wish me luc...
