Metal Mouth Message Board

lol. Yeah, I was trying to find something related to braces that was cute on google and that's what I found . Guess we had the same thought

Thanks Cathy. I was thinking that, but I thought I'd ask anyway

Hi All, They last few days I've noticed that my top central incisors are moving a bit. Before I got my braces my two central incisors were lined up with each other. Now, however, it seems that one is sort of behind the other. In the past, when I felt the back of the front of my teeth with my tongue,...

Thanks for the support everyone. Hopefully it won't be long before they start to move for you Braceface46. I'm thinking that I may still have to go the full 22 months though because I'm waiting to get my bottom braces on until my bite improves enough that I don't bite down on the bottom brackets. Pl...

Thanks guys. I'm pretty excited. Maybe I won't have to have them on for 22 months...maybe lol

Hi All, I got my braces on 28 days ago today. I thought since I hadn't posted any pictures yet, today would be a good day to show you my progress. I'm really excited to see that my lateral incisors are coming down to by in line with my central incisors. They used to overlap my canines a bit. I'm exc...

Just noticed your ticker Kimmie. 15 days will go by very quickly

Thanks. I hope all goes well for you and you don't have much pain Kimmie. When are you getting your braces on?

My Damon brackets had coloured dots on them too. They took most of it off while I was there, but told me that there may be some remaining when I got home and that it was normal and it would come off with brushing. They said it was to tell them which tooth to place the bracket on.

I had my four wisdom teeth removed under IV sedation in July of 2011. It cost $2400, but insurance covered most of it.

1. Where are you located? (city, state) Canada
2. How much are you paying for your braces? $6400
3. What kind of braces do you have? (ceramic, metal) Damon ceramic (on top), don't know about bottom yet
4. What is your estimated time in braces? 22 months

[quote="cavomington"]My orthodontist has been practicing for 30 years and advised against them mostly on the basis that they don't move the teeth any faster than his traditional braces. I'm not sure what to think about that. I certainly respected him for that opinion in that Damon would ha...

I've had my upper damon clear braces for almost 3 weeks. In about a week I found the hooks and brackets stopped hurting me. I tried to only use the wax when it hurt, so that my mouth would toughen up. I got my molar bands a week after I got my brackets and wire. I found that molar band more uncomfor...

I've had my damon clear braces on my top teeth for almost 3 weeks. I was a little bit worried about the staining as well. But so far, I haven't seen any staining on the brackets or the glue. I love curry as well and the first time I had it, I was nervous that it would stain and I had no trouble with...

I'm 29 years old and 3 weeks ago tomorrow I got damon clear braces on my top teeth. I read a lot on archwired, but didn't have the courage to signup until now. I really enjoyed reading the stories on here and I decided that I wanted to share my own experience. Here goes :D When I was young, my secon...
