Metal Mouth Message Board

I'm having mine the day after, on the 9th! Got my date back in July, and been in braces since October 2011. I'm having double jaw surgery to correct my overbite and gummy smile. What are you having done? It's only just really starting to click how soon it is and actually feel real... up until now i...

Hi, I just want to say that I can totally relate to what you are going through. I have all the same issues/problems as you.

I've just joined the board and can't see your photos yet. How long do you have to wait before you have permission to see pictures?

I can't see your pictures yet but from what you've said the NHS position sounds harsh.

The look a bit smaller
