Metal Mouth Message Board

04-20-06 So, I haven't posted in a while, I thought I'd say hi. I finally got power chains, and my two front teeth moved apart overnight. My teeth really do move fast, that's good I guess, but painful. :soremouth: It's been one year, and my ortho said they'll remove my expander soon. Yey! I'm genera...

Hi krwhite777, I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you too, bosses can be so heartless. And gosh Kimberley, thank-you for the lovely post, I loved reading it. I'm studying to get my A.S. in Respiratory Therapy. It is a very compasionate field to embark upon and that is one of the reasons I chos...

Hey Linda, thanks for the nice post. I was really sad and angry when I posted all of those negative feelings about being fired. I feel much better now, good luck with your teeth too. Rock on,

Who cares that my old job fired me, because I am starting college on March 28th, and I will be so much happier with my new career. Forget that old office, I hated it and will never work in a stuffy office again! My teeth are coming along just great, and I will never regret having these braces, they ...

Hey marcTO and Kiwi, thanks for the inspiring words. I'll keep my head up and yeah, it was hard not being able to buy anyone gifts for the holidays b/c I was fired, but it's 06 and time to start a new. A lady just told me that when one door closes, another opens. I'll go ponder that thought for a wh...

I have not posted for a while, soooo....first off, Happy New Year to all... 2006 Baby!! :-)o I have had a rough holiday season, and NOT b/c of my braces, my mouth is just fine. But on 12-12-05, my mean, two-faced, a**hole boss decided to FIRE me for being sick. :-(( So here I am , miserable. Just wh...

Hi Kiwi, I think you'd have fun switching from purple to Christmas colors . I like to change the colors every month, it makes the braces more fashionable, if that's possible! :-#) You can always go back to purple , right? I'm looking forward to Dec.29th & 30th, I have off from work those days an...

I went for a follow-up on Saturday, I got RED ligs. I love em, so festive! I have not posted for a while, but the good news is, my braces feel pretty good today. Considering my adjustment on Sat hurt like heck, esp when they tighten my expander on the roof of my mouth, yikes. :soremouth: I miss havi...

Hi Kiwi, the holes do hurt, but I guess I just deal with it. I mean, I just don't like the wax. I end up eating it or spitting it out. Maybe I use too much, but when I try to use only a little, it doesn't work. :roll: I'll just deal, and hey, thanks for the warm salt water advice. My great-grandpa t...

Hi Lee Ann, welcome to Archwired. I have a non-removable expander on the roof of my mouth and I was not able to speak normally for a least two weeks, like maybe even longer to say things like "whiskey". I have a job that requires me to speak with people all over the world ( In English only...

What's new Kiwi? Oh, I woke up today with a sore mouth, I'm about seven months into my treatment and I have very little holes all inside my mouth! It really hurts when I talk, and that is all I do at my job, talk on the phone with clients! :shock: But I laugh at myself, it's my fault for not ever we...

Hey Kiwi! What's new with you? I hope your braces are doing well and your treatment is coming along fine. Yeah, I am excited, it's just great to know when you have found the one who will grow old with you. At least I can dream, right? I am so happy that I made the decision to get braced, but the cos...

Hi Kiwi! My boyfriend and I have been together for eight years now, in fact, today is out 8th year anniversary. He asked me to be his girlfriend while we were hanging out in a park acting like carefree teenagers on 11-14-97. Well, after living together with my mum, who passed away when I was 17, we ...

Monday... What is there to say about Monday? Work, work, work, and that stinks. On well, it's 3:30, only an hour and a half to go, than it will be 5:00, and then? 4:20!!! YEY! :lol: So, what's everyone been up to lately? I finally got me electricity back this weekend, and boy, you don;y realize how ...

Hi Kiwi, good to hear from you! Yeah, it has been tough not having power for over a week now, my electricity still has not come back on yet, we are patiently waiting! But that is what happens when you live in a place where you can take a suntan in December! Hurricanes are a part of life where I live...
