Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi SunshineRay so sorry it's taken me until now to reply! My appointment went well it was over really quick! My brace is killing me though,it doesn't feel as bad as yesterday but my word did it hurt as I was driving home after having it fitted. Later in the evening the pain just got worse, I took so...

Thanks very much SunshineRay!! I'm actually sitting here in the waiting room trying to pass time until my appointment by checking emails and this board!!
Ill let you know how it goes with pics!!

I love all these weird talents and tricks!! Mine are pretty boring, I'm "hyper mobile" and have the weird talent of moving my knee caps completely to the side and popping them back round without my hands! Its one of those ta-da! moments! I've had a few knee dislocations in my time..I think...

Well I hope I have the same experience as you and just feel them going on. I've got to work later in the day and I just don't want to be sore.

And yeah it's typical about wanting what you can't have!

Congrats on your new braces Samanthajayne! Did you have a lot of discomfort after they were fitted? I think I'm probably feel like mine are an eye saw and everyone is looking, when in reality I'm sure they're not, glad people have commented on hours looking discreet. Sometimes I wonder if I'd have b...

4. What is your estimated time in braces? 6-9 months

Good luck for tomorrow!!

I know how you feel, you build yourself up for it so much then as it approaches you start to feel nervous. I'm more worried about what people will think than the pain or the inconvenience it's going to cause, which is crazy because I'm a grown woman and shouldn't care! We're making the right choice ...

I've loved reading all these replies! I'm soon to be braced up and haven't yet decided what ill have as my last meal! I think I'm going to swing for Scampi and Chips! A good English classic. :-) I'll miss popcorn thought I had It last night and as I could feel it getting stuck in my teeth I did sigh...

You've spent a lot of money and you've been really productive and assertive in starting the process so far :-)

Be strong, you're doing the right thing for YOU

Hi Tobilei Thanks for your support,I know what you mean about high school. I cant really even remember if anyone ever noticed my brace in high school,although it was just on my bottom teeth so it wasn't too noticeable. I think it's just the fear of not knowing how ill fell or look thats making me an...

Hey ajs, I feel completely the same as you. I'm due to get my brace in two weeks and am anxious despite being really pumped about it for the last few weeks. I too work in a professional environment and I was at a conference today and it dawned on me that in a couple of weeks time ill be an adult wea...

I worry about this too, I'm due to get my brace on in two weeks and have been thinking how I would be acting in different situations if I had my braces on already. I never thought about it up until now and am starting to worry that people at work and out and about will judge me or stare at my mouth....
