Metal Mouth Message Board

I remember a few years ago here there was somebody posting wanting to fabricate his own orthodontic appliances with the eventual goal of making his face vaguely look like that of a dog. I'm not going to judge, but I don't even understand what that means. How is it possible for orthodontics to make ...
