Metal Mouth Message Board

I only had a small over bite 4mm (is that the right measurement?) I've been wearing elastics since 4 weeks in I get my braces off in 2 days and I'm still wearing the elastics.

Thanks a ton. I can relate to smiling more. I have been since the day I got my braces. At first it was because my lip fit more comfortably that way when I would smile but I am so much more confident even with the braces. My dentist is also super excited about my teeth. He wants before and after shot...

This is from my ortho evaluation. . . Though I suppose that's obvious. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g367/mareesey2/IMG_0201.jpg This is a day or so after I got the braces on. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g367/mareesey2/IMG_0005.jpg This is 8 weeks and the second time they've changed th...

Between school and work I haven't gotten on in awhile. I do have photos to share though, they are pretty horrible I took them with my iPhone.

I notice people staring at my braces, I know it's just that they think I look superstar sexy with my ceramic uppers :wink: . If anything to check your progress you can look at a photo from just before you got them or right after you got them and compare. It won't be as effective as the slideshow lik...

@Bracer- I got what I do believe was all of that but then later in the day I noticed another spot where there was "ghost" floss. I for whatever reason thought I would try to use up the CVS floss I had before using my other stuff. . . Not a good plan. @threescompany- Makes sense to me. It's...

I hope my teeth line up as fast as you say yours did I have only had mine since yesterday morning so nothing will be happening for awhile. I'm also 25 and it doesn't seem like people are generally rude or forward about my braces, well, except for something rude my aunt said. Good luck on the 12 mont...

My first meal was chicken noodle soup. My teeth feel like they aren't touching right so I haven't eaten anything I'd have to chew. I had a wisdom tooth that I fractured from chewing because it came in crooked so I'm a little leery.

I love the play by play shots of your tooth movement. I can't wait until I can see my teeth moving! It also looks like your left front tooth is tucking in better. Congrats and they are looking good!

So I'm 25 and finally talked myself into getting braces after a visit to my dentist a few months ago 8) . I wanted a stronger reason than vanity to fix my overbite/crowded teeth and a cavity on my front tooth from their overlap gave me all the incentive I needed :-+ . I got my braces yesterday morni...
