Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey Everyone! I have been in braces for a year and they are coming off on April 7th! Counting down the days as this month I am wearing elastics at each side, in a square configuration for my bite. No fun! Would really appreciate it if you took a look at my blog. http://www.betterlateblog.blogspot.co...

Oh, poor you! I didn't realise this was your 3rd go. That sucks big time! The way mine are feeling, I will only be doing this once. Last night my lower teeth were so sore, I wanted to rip them right off. And I have already broken a bracket and my wire. Guess I am not made for braces! They look great...

Hi, I started my braces blog a while ago, but back then it was more of a teeth blog while I waited impatiently for my orthodontic referral so I only posted infrequently. I just found out today that I'll be getting my braces on March 13th so will be posting more often. Please check it out at http://w...

Hi, I set up my account a while ago when I was still researching braces and waiting for my orthodontic referral so I do have an intro thread somewhere already. But I just got my referral through in December and have completed all my pre-treatment consultations. I got my brace date today and it will ...

Oh I hate not being able to edit these. I meant lisp!

Hi,

I am not braced yet. But these are things I am not looking forward to:

1. Someone telling me I have a lips.

2. Someone getting popcorn when we go to the movies.

Hiya,

You know me, of course. Afraid I can't answer your questions but glad to hear your consultations went well.

Hiya, Perhaps it is quite different, I don't really know. When I said 'kids', on the NHS you are considered a kid up until you turn 18 and until you turn 19 if you are in full-time education. I'm 19 but not in full-time school so I don't qualify. Most people who have braces on the NHS do so between ...

Hiya, There are some similarities and some differences. The NHS has its uses and so much health care that you would need insurance or else have to pay a fortune for, is free and available fairly quickly, although there are waiting lists for many things. Dentists are an exception to the usually high ...

Hiya, Yeah, I will blog. But I've no idea how long it will take even to get to see an ortho. I've got this filling and clean and that's not until December 13th and then I don't know what's next. The dentist can't do any more for me. I am going to ask him about referral to an ortho but then I'll prob...

Hiya, Strange I know, but there you are. There's even advice about making fake braces. I hope your second appointment goes well and the two opinions were the same. Mixing and matching the ceramic and metal sounds good. You have to do what's best for you. I'm not sure about colours. But I have a sigh...

Thanks!

Had my appointment today and it went well. I need a filling and deep clean and then can be referred to the orthodontist. I've started a 'teeth blog' with more details.

Hiya, This is my new blog. I'm several months away from braces yet so it's not really a brace blog, more a teeth blog. Had my first appointment today. Going in for a filling and deep clean in December and then my dentist will refer me to an ortho. http://www.betterlateblog.blogspot.com/ Please don't...

Hi, I would definitely have at least one more consultation with someone else and see if they recommend treatment, before you agree to anything. It's a good idea to see an orthodontist if you can, not just a dentist as they'll have more expertuse. Your teeth look really good and although I can see an...
