Metal Mouth Message Board

Had retainers yesterday...they are evil things 0,o Not only are they a pain to get in...they are even worse to try to get out :L Today going to hunt down some special liquid for keeping retainers clean as don't fancy paying £50 if they break due to lack of cleanliness

Ahh been so busy that I forgot to update with excellent news! I have got my braces off as of last Tuesday :D It feels amazing having them off! Although still finding bits of glue on my teeth which is a little annoying -,- Ate a Toffee Crisp the other day :D And a sandwich without having to pick bits...

28/02/2012 - ARGH I forgot to update. So here it is :D I went in, now got to wear elastics to bring the bottom set back a little as he says the pressure on the top will close the gaps. Been estimated to get them off by the summer. We'll see how he sticks to that one considering he say "few more...

Time for another update, today had some great news I suppose...I will be getting my braces off in the next few months :D But before than happens I need a tooth twisted back around as due to having too much pressure on it, it turned inwards slightly -,- Have also been told that I have to compromise w...

Completely normal My gums can get really angry after an adjustment especially 0,o I asked my hygienist about it (after I had my gum swell down over my tooth) and she said about using an antiseptic mouthwash after each adjustment or visit to her and it really does help to calm it down

So sorry haven't updated in a while :O Well I have passed my one year of braces and yesterday (22/11/11) had brace adjustment 8 (I think). Brace adjustment 7 (11/10/11) they were trying to close the gaps on the left side of my mouth. I had a mixture of metal power chains and elastic ones. This led t...

So adjustment number 6 has been done. I still have powerchains and now have metal also to bring my teeth together also :( So a lot of pressure going on now on the tootie pegs :( But at least I know I'll be back to normal in a week XD I hope anyway :L In other news can finally stop wearing elastics :...

Spacers are the worst part! They were for me anyway 0,o My mouth has gone back to normal eating with the front teeth wise after my adjustment on Tuesday. I find just cutting things like chips/fries up is how I survived :L Although I had to moosh them up with my toungue :) But that was when I had spa...

Got to be honest, braces are the best thing to happen to me :D I enjoy smiling a lot more now :D In fact I think it's showing them off I love XD Then again I'm having an off day as just had an adjustment, but at least I could still have a chocolate milkshake from McDonald's :D I agree with Klobird a...

Today had adjustment number 5. I have finally got coloured ligs back on the top teeth XD That power chain not going to lie was starting to go a rank yellowy colour 0,o I have power chains still on the bottom teeth :/ Good news thought I don't have to wear my elastics on the left side of my mouth :D ...

You could ring up and enquire about it, as with the lig popping off, there is a chance the wire isn't putting pressure on that tooth. But they may just say to leave it until they see you next

I've had elastics since March the pain did go away after a week at the most. They do get better but then I was having to wear mine 24/7 except when brushing. So my teeth were used to them :D But even if I keep them out for about 15 minutes and put them back on I get a slight pain, but goes within 5 ...

Update XD Today went to what would be adjustment 4 XD But no lovely coloured ligs this time. Oh no. Today I had power chains put on -,- No colour choice. Just a skanky clear one going across the top set (across 5 of my teeth anyway) and across the bottom it is literally in two. One going from the ba...

Update time :/ Today I went for what I thought would be my 3rd adjustment. To be disappointed to find out I wasn't going to get some new brightly coloured ligs but instead was getting some disgusting elastics which I have to wear 24/7 and only take out and replace once a day when I brush my teeth :(...

Woah, they come together quite nicely I like the ligs Nice colour combination
