Metal Mouth Message Board

Why hello there, aliviu *raising eyebrow*
I'm kidding, of course, but hey, i love your English, i thought you must be a native. Good luck with your journey!
Can we see before pictures, pretty-pretty please?

I am a bit better now, but still missing work. Yes, that is what i've been told. The adrenaline from the extraction caused all this mess inside my brain. 3 or 4 different doctors told me that. The thing is that i remember asking for more anesthethic because i was in such great pain, so maybe it was ...

Hey, after the last extraction i felt (still feeling) extremely sick. After a month of going to hospitals and running blood tests i finally accepted that the adrenaline caused me a horrible panic disorder. Now i'm on antidepressants and anxiolytics for this disorder. I couldn't even move/breathe pro...

Simple: i've been slacking with updates. BUT i promise i will update it wonderfully on the 12th of february, when i'll be getting metal braces on my bottom teeth. Can't wait for that (train tracks for the win). A week ago i had one of my horizontally impacted wisdom teeth ripped off my mouth and sin...

I can definitely see a difference with the left side (of the picture). This is just the start.

Hey, your teeth don't look nearly as bad as i imagined. There's some symmetry going on right there. I'm curious about how things will work out for you, so please, keep us updated every now and then.

Hello Lalaloo, I've been wearing stb braces for about 5 month. My problem was all about crowded teeth as well. I've been posting pictures of my smile (blog link in my signature), so, if you're curious you can check it out. Do you have pictures? And yes, teeth move in less than 2 month, but don't exp...

Hi Norrie! So you joined the fellowship of the lingual braces. If you hate them then you must know that's a step before(?) loving them. As for my evolution, it is slow, but (hopefully) will lead me to good results. You can take a look through my blog posts which I try to keep short and simple. I don...

Hello Dervish and thank you for your encouraging words. I never smiled with my teeth in pictures, but i have the confidence that i will someday. Do you have a blog with pictures so i can take a look? As an "omg" fact, due to the metal spring (is that the way it is called?) i'm starting to ...

That sounds so exciting! I secretly envy you, hah Your smile should look amazing soon.

Nope, my ortho didn't file the enamel of any of my teeth. He told me he just wants to leave the archwire do its job slowly. But my ortho wasn't recommended by any of my friends, so i'm not sure he knows what he's doing. Tiacat, I thought you could just post the "pre-braces" pictures on her...

About 1500 US dollars (just for the upper arch. STb braces, not incognito)

Wow, you looked over my blog posts. It's kind of embarrassing, because i know how horrible my teeth are; i never show my teeth in real life. Oh, sometimes, my tongue becomes a little bit sore because of the two brackets near the back molars. But it's never something painful. I rinse with mouthwash (...

Hi Tiacat and welcome to the STB braces wearers club! I don't know why, but everytime i read about the hardships newly-braced people have to go through i get all giggly inside and i wanna burst in laughter. It's really funny, cause i know how much frustration you can accumulate sometimes. 19 weeks a...

Thank you so much guys for wishing me good luck. I sure hope my teeth will look normal as soon as possible. It's been a little over a week since i got them and i can see no movement whatsoever. I know it's a slow process, but i've had these ugly teeth for way too much time so i'm impatient to see so...
