Metal Mouth Message Board

The QuickBreeze Oral Irrigator (formerly "QuickPik") DentalKit.com (http://www.dentakit.com/quickbreeze.html). It attaches to the faucet and it's heaven sent. No batteries, no filling container, you can apply as much pressure as you like. WONDERFUL!!

Congratulations! Some days are better than others...and as you proceed in this adventure, know that different procedures will occur during you adjustments. I have an overbite, and my 2nd adjustment the ortho assistant applied cement on my back molars. It felt like I had a piece of jolly rancher stu...

I'm curious... What is the craziest/weirdest thing you'v done while braced?.... I was at fast food resturant with a friend, and I had him to bend the excess wire in my mouth toward my teeth with a fork. Also, I've used a metal finger nail file to file down the exess wire. Being poked all day is no f...

MarciLouWho, I'm glad the Ortho did the top first and not both. It gave me a chance to still enjoy my food. I have an overbite, and had cement placed on my back molars (to avoid my top teeth from breaking the bottom brackets) on my 2nd adjustment. www.ezticker.com http://www.ezticker.com/ticker/279...

I'm getting use to it, but when the Ortho first adhered them to my back molars, I thought I had a small piece of Jolly Rancher candy stuck on my teeth. It's hard to really chew your food...so must time I chew the best I can...

Are you going to have them professionally done or use the whitening strips? I used Crest Strips before braces and I could definately see some improvements.

Great Post!! Don't ask me why you're doing it now at age 45+...I woud have done it sooner if you had given me the $5K. Don't call my braces railroad tracks!! Did it hurt....hmmm!!

BaliGirl, drgnchsr36 and Loztredders.......Thank You So Much! What a wonderful Christmas gift to give to yourself.

The braces were my birthday gift to myself. Top ceramics...not sure what the lowers will be (30 Nov). It's been a journey, and I'm so glad I've found this site. It has been a tremendous help to us newbies. Thanks! www.ezticker.com http://www.ezticker.com/ticker/2794/2784/20101005/%5C%5C%5C%22Braces+...
