Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi Kezza, do you have any photos of your treatment you'd be willing to share? I have been given a 9-12 month estimate too, and i see you're in the UK, they seem to do things alot differently here than in the US going by these boards. I'd love to see someone else in InVus! And have you stuck with the...

Hi Jon, I can see what you want to acheive here but I really must warn you, moving teeth will make your profile sunken, your top jaw is what is keeping your profile straight between your nose and chin, in your paint picture its further back but still straight. I have an under bite, my bottom jaw is ...

Hi SJ thankyou for replying! I can relate to your 'transformation' feeling, I recently went through a divorce, it was tough but in the heartache I lost some weight that was bothering me, so when I came out of the other side I felt like a new person, more myself if that makes sense? Im so glad that y...

Hi Sharp I was wondering if you have any more updates? And are your teeth shaping up with the metal braces on? Glad you fought for your rights and got some money back, I think we were raised to respect authority, but no-one is to be trusted!

Hi SJ welcome, to the board and to the discomfort! Yes do post some pics! And I like to read peoples back stories too, and a bit about their treatment plan! But then I'm nosey in general!
Abi

Hi reflektor! You should tell us a bit about what treatment you'll be having, and be sure to do some before photos before the big day!

Thank you KiilaniY, I read somewhere you're recently braced for a few years? Are you doing a story? I'd love to know more about your tooth situaton

Hi Bluebird, I have ceramic 'InVu' on my top 6, they are a bit bigger than the metal but you really cant tell the difference. If you dont mind spending the extra money they really are worth it, none of my work colleagus noticed I had braces! I even have the meal wire! heres a pic, and also a side sh...

Hi Roses, I have been noticing a lot of movement recently despite the last adjustment being over a month ago. It seem my teeth are just waking up! First wires are nearly completely straight. This has reassured me this morning,its my 3rd day in braces and the pain has pretty much gone now, I started ...

Hi Sharicat, are you planning on making a braces story to document your progress! Ive had my braces on a few hours now and the dull ache is gradually setting in!

Hello everyone, Ive started my blog as today was my Brace Day! I was a member here as a teen, 'blueberry' but that password has long since been forgotten. I'm another round two-er, this time I have clear top 6 and metal lowers and a mild underbite. Love looking at everyones stories, (mainly photos!)...

Hi everyone, this is the link to my blog where I'll be writing up my braces story. As of today it's only an introducton with photos of my new braces (clear upper metal lower) but I'll be updating it with photos every few weeks or so. I have tried and tried but I cannot for the life of me add photos ...

Hi Deen! Im also 24 and getting my brace fitted tomorrow. I wont be having jaw surgery but I was wondering, as you mentioned your 'convex'? profile in your introduction, do you have any photos of this? Just curious! Good to hear your treatment is going well, if not a little alarming if they are pree...

Hi lilywag, I'm not much help with the expanders but I hope you do a braces story for your journey! I wish I'd had an expander as opposed to my four extractions as I notice face shape looks a lot better after expanders. I have an underbite and my first round of ortho has left me with a prominent chi...

I love your before and afters here! And I'm also jealous of your white wire too! Does it cause sensitivity to have the teeth shaped? It makes me cringe a bit to think about but I'd really like my jaggedy bottom teeth smoothed out after my treatment lol,
