Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your feedback. I'll see how I get on, feel very disheartened as my two front teeth aren't flush and there's an inconsistent gap between them. I'll see how I get on and post my results when I have the brace off.

Here's another pic - you can see that (aesthetically) it's not flush with the straight tooth beside it....the left corner is raised and then it is bent backwards (it looks like the tooth is smaller but it's the angle at which it's rotated at)

It's funny because the arch looks fine but aesthetically it's still crooked (see pic 2 - the tooth is going back at an angle) If you follow the bottom of the good tooth in pic one across horizontally, when you get to the "bad" tooth, it goes back at an angle. Hmph

Apologies again for the staining

The tooth on the left of this pic is the crooked one. You can see that it's still slightly receding behind the lateral incisor

PS. apologies for the brown on my teeth...damn coffee!! Can't wait to get them cleaned!! :-p

Thanks nikkibabie19, I agree. It's just so damn frustrating when they move sooo slowly!! :( Cheers kennyandrew85. I've attached another pic. I see what you're saying but I think the tooth looks smaller because it's actually not flush/straight i.e. it's rotated away from the straight tooth. What do y...

Hi everyone, this is my first post but after years of following the forum I decided to take the plunge and get "6 month braces" 9 months ago. Long story short, my ortho wanted to take my brace off five weeks ago but I was nowhere near happy with the results. I've lost all confidence in him...

Congrats AltoRose!!!!

I was told by my ortho to go on a low-sugar diet...but I think that was for general tooth-health as opposed the period of time I'm in my brace.

Lillypad, it does get better!! You'll wonder what all the fuss was about in a few weeks :)

They're looking great Ashybear!!!!

Hi BracedSurgeryStudent!

I know exactly how you feel. It just feels like there's no end in sight! But stick at it, it'll all be worth it in the end :)

Congrats Mylene!! Sounds like you're making fantastic progress...and all in one month! :-D

Congrats Georgina! I got mine on my 28th birthday!! :)
