Metal Mouth Message Board

After 12 months I dont think I am tired of the braces themselves. I am sick of not enjoying a meal. I want to eat normal again. I am really in for it for the next 6 months. They take moulds monday for my jaw surgery. Ill be wired shut for 4 weeks. No foods at all! That will be icing on the cake.

No question about it. Raisin Bran cereal. You will wash out more than you swallow.

Thats funny. My boys (3 and 5 year old) always want to touch my brackets. I threaten them that if they dont brush their teeth they will have to get braces. They run away screaming in terror looking for their tooth brush. Im so mean. ha ha.

My ortho would not do it. I had to wait 2 weeks. It was a good thing. I did get 2 dry sockets and they had to go in and repack the holes. With wires in the way it would have been bad.

To tell you how crazy the age thing can get. I stoped at the Ford Dealer last summer and was looking at a 4 door F-350 which is a big truck. The salesman came out and asked me several questions then said "son that is a lot of truck are you sure you can pay for it". I replied that I didnt t...

Yea I do feel like a dog. I think this is part of the reason I am losing weight I dont chew. I hope I dont start eating dead animals on the side of the road.

Just wait. You will get used to them. Everyone goes through the shock stage and then the what have I done stage. You still have several stages to go. You will get to the it really dosent bother me and then finally to the they are just another part of your body stage. Stay with metal they are more du...

Yes there are some proven long term effects. Your checkbook will have fewer numbers to the left of the decimal point!!

Im in the same boat. I was at my ideal weight before wisdom tooth surgery and braces. Ive lost 12 lbs and cant get it back. Ice cream wont do it alone. I have always loved it and no joke go through 1/2 gal every 2-3 days. The problem is it takes me so long to eat I get board/tired and everyone else ...

I hate to be the stick in the mud. I have 2's on bottom and 3's on top. By far I prefer the 2's. I am always having trouble with the 3's doors poping open. I have been back 3 times to get the doors closed and 1 time to get a Damon 3 bracket put back on. I have had no problems at all with the Damon 2...

Didnt happen to me but I have to tell it anyway. A girl I work with told me this 2 days after I got my braces. She had her braces on and was home with her 2 year old. They were playing on the floor fliping over and rolling around. After one of the flips she ended up face down in the shag carpet with...

Mine always do that after a wire change. About 3-4 days later it will stop.

Tin. For most guys, Female + Fetish either costs $ by the hour or 50% of your total assets. Your in a position to get it for free. Your 5K investment is now paying off .

Holly; Your teeth look great, proof there is hope for us other hopeless people!

Thats bad! This reminds me of a story thats kind of cat related but just as bad. After I got my braces I was talking to a girl that runs a machine on our Manufacturing floor. She had gotten her braces off and told me about the second day she had gotten hers on. She went home and was playing with her...
