Metal Mouth Message Board

I know the changes with the Damon system happen relatively quickly...I've heard that some people's teeth have moved in the time its taken to drive home from getting their braces on! That's pretty dramatic. I wish I would've had the guts to get them...but I suffer from a bit of anxiety (a BIG underst...

I'm so glad its going well for you, Klo! Keep up the good work and chomp away

annelou , I'm so glad you like them! I hope the experience continues to be a positive one for both of us. The top mold was tough...stuff started gagging me. But first time was a charm...no re-do's. So now I wait. I was going for Damon clear...and at the last minute chickened out. After reading abou...

Good luck with your appointment! Maybe take some type of pain reliever prior and have a stiff drink after! LOL...let me know how it goes!

And just remember...it's all worth the end result...beautiful teeth and a great bite!

Hi Newsmilesoon!

I just got molds done Tuesday for Invisalign and am planning on getting my first set on October 10th. How do you like them so far?

Good Luck!

Hi Klo! Just thought I'd let you know I had impressions made on Tuesday for the Invisalign. They should arrive in about a month. In the mean time, I've ordered all of the necessary cleaning supplies and Dentakit so that I'll be ready to go once they arrive. Wish me luck! :HugeGrin: http://tickers.Ti...

Ok...so...after much debate (with myself) and obsessively reading hundreds (if not thousands) of posts, I did make my 9:50a orthodontist appointment today. While sitting in the waiting room, I met another woman my age waiting to get a consult. She was apprehensive about the whole deal too. Just as w...

Ok....the count down begins...49 hrs. until I get braced...one way or the other. I've never been braced, and I've been reading lots of posts about 'mouth ulcers' caused from rubbing. I was plagued during childhood with mouth ulcers because I used to think frozen orange juice concentrate was meant to...

Good luck with your appointment, klobird! Scheduled for bracing tuesday...I'm still on the fence between invisalign and damons. I think invisalign, overall, are more comfortable...from what I hear. I'm a big chicken . One year for either treatment.

I think the Damon clear are slightly higher in profile then the Damon Qs. Do you think that's made a difference at all as far as the sore spots in your mouth? Scheduled to get those on Tuesday. Not sure the clear are worth it...

Glad to hear AM21! Getting braced Tuesday, Sept. 6. What did you eat the first days or so?

Thanks, 'Guys'! I value your opinions and sharing your experiences! To continued success...

Does anyone regret going through the entire braces process? Just curious.

Thanks for the info, Flynn! I'm scheduled to be braced for 12 months...not too bad. Good luck with your next appointment!

Thanks for the info, again I can't wait to start this process (and get it over with). I hope your next adjustment is a smooth one! I hope my initial bracing is, as well. I plan on having the Advil close at hand.
