Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey everyone. So sorry for not posting sooner than this; it's been ages! I've been so busy lately, a lot has been going on in my life and I just haven't had the chance to write something (I still don't!). I hope to try and update you all on my progress soon. I can quickly recap: I have all my teeth ...

Lucky you! I've been dying for a curry for so long now because I missed my previous chance to have one because I had the adjustment unexpectedly! I've been been considering options like wax over the brackets, even maybe cellotape!, and other crazy thoughts at how I could just have curry but avoid st...

Hi Kitsune! Sorry for the delay in posting!

Your updates look great! I know I was one for really loving your coloured ligs, but I must admit that even clear look great on you

I have power-chains to look forward to in the future too! To close up my huuuuge gaps, hehe.

Yep, I keep feeling this on one of my top incisors. It's weird! I keep feeling it click between positions. I can ever so slightly wobble it if I touch it (and that feels a bit sensitive!), but the movement isn't visible.

Forgot to ask, which of your teeth are you waiting to get the rest bracketed in June?

All of them, yay! (except wisdom I assume!)

So that's the back 4 molars, including the one that came off.

Hey Kelly! Thanks I've had it postponed to 19 June instead now I made an update explaining why, hehe.

I really crave a curry, though, so I may see if I can get a lig change beforehand, haha!

The previous posts are right. Whitening toothpaste can't whiten your teeth, it can only maintain your natural whiteness and prevent stains. The only true whitening solution is bleaching (either at your dentist ('zooming'?), or stuff you can do at home like Dental White).

Aw, sorry to hear you're in pain! Shorter power chains, huh? Good progress! Don't know much about wire ties, but they sound like a pain.

I'll be getting fully braced by the end of next month Wish that included wisdom teeth too, though, as the one that has come through is at a real angle!

Thanks very much, Cleo! That's very nice to hear, and I'm glad what I write helps :D Yeah, the dry socket was no fun... Here are my latest photos (2 months)! I feel they're a bit overdue, but I'm sort of glad I waited now as the difference is quite striking I think :D http://i1271.photobucket.com/al...

Quick update! Sorry I haven't been updating more often, I've been really busy, though there hasn't been much to report anyway. I had another bracket come off! It was the opposite side this time, my back molar. I guess it's how my bite is, pushing down and putting pressure on those brackets. I saw my...

Hi Dom, Did you manage to get your bracket sorted on Monday? Hey. Sorry for the delay, I've been really busy. Yep, he replaced the bracket for me no issue. He said it happens and not to worry about it. He also put it ever so slightly lower on the tooth too, so hopefully it won't grind as much. I di...

hi Dom :D where are the new pics? :lol: Hey kellyb. I keep meaning to take them, and I was just about to, but as I was just eating one of my brackets snapped off! It's the anchor one on my right lower molar. I had a suspicion it was placed too high on my tooth, as I kept feeling it grate against my...

Hello :) We got braces in about the same time :D. I got mine on March 10th. I'm glad I found someone that will be going through this at the same time...although it doesn't really make a difference..it feels better :D Hi Maia! That's great :D It's awesome being able to share your experience with som...

Hehe, half the time you never know what the hell the dentist/ortho is doing in your mouth, and it's not until afterwards that they decide to make you aware of it, haha (or not, in your case)! I remember when I was having one of my extractions and my dentist didn't even tell me when it had come out (...

Hey anngie! How did your adjustment go?
