Metal Mouth Message Board

After 11months I got my braces off last Wednesday. I am so thrilled with the results. I have bonded retainer wires behind my uper and ower 4 teeth and some plastic type trays I wear at night. Here is my before and after.

I have my removal date!! I will get my braces off on April 23rd, two days before my birthday, which will be almost exactly 11 months from the time I got them put on. I am so excited! I am pleased with my results, and know after the dentist does some small smile adjustments at the appointment, and I ...

It has been 9.5 months. Before and now side by side.

My braces are coming off in about 3 weeks! Just a few minor tweaks between now and then and they will be ready.

This was meant to go in the log colors thread...

I am almost 8 months into treatment and at my last appointment last week my ortho told me at my next appt in 4 weeks we will probably make my appointment doe removal as long as my teeth respond to the minor tweaks he put into the wires this last time and I wear my elastics this month. Not totally ha...

Almost 8 months in and I went with a metallic burgundy color. It's got a bit of sparkle to it in person.

The pain from my adjustment a few days ago is gone now for the most part. It hurt pretty bad this time around, probably since the moved to such a stronger wire. Even my lower lip ached all night the day of my adjustment, which I found odd. But I am back to being able to eat pretty normally. I go bac...

It has been a little over 4 months since I got my braces, and I am pretty happy with the results. Up until my last adjustment a few days ago I've had a white archwire but now they moved me into a more heavy duty finishing wire thats a lot more noticeable. Here are my progress pics, from before brace...

I have clear ceramic brackets, and have had a white archwire up until this past adjustment 2 days ago. I now have the standard silver one. Here are the colors I have had so far. <br> http://i40.tinypic.com/j8hdht.jpg And 2 weeks before the last adjustment one of my bag ligs came off. Since my husban...

I feel like time is DRAGGING! I've been braced 5 weeks now, and don't have my first checkup or wire change until week 6, so 1 more week to go. I'm anxious to go in next week, hopefully the wire change doesn't make my teeth as uncomfortable as they were when I first got braced, since its the day befo...

It's been a little over 2 weeks since I had my braces put on. I am totally pain free at this point. I am still having a bit of trouble biting into food with my front teeth, but I think this is partly in my head and I am afraid of ripping off the brackets or something. I prefer to eat foods that are ...

Your teeth remind me a lot of mine. I Just got my braces put on 1 week ago. Our "before" photos are pretty similar.

I bet you are going to see great results! I look forward to your updates!

Tomorrow will be 1 week since getting braced. My teeth feel great, no pain at all anymore, and I haven't even needed any wax or anything the past few days. Food wise I am eating a pretty normal diet, with the exception of still nothing really hard like chips or anything crunchy or sticky. I ate meat...

The past few days were pretty miserable, but the first day was by far the worst. Today is day 4, and my teeth have moved on from being in PAIN to just being SORE. I can deal with this. Chewing and putting pressure on the teeth is still uncomfortable but as long as I'm not doing either, my teeth feel...
