Metal Mouth Message Board

Hello all, I'm getting my braces fitted next week, so want to step up my game on flossing etc. I have a waterflosser I bought several years ago but didn't use much. It's just been sitting in my cupboard for a long time. What would be the best way to clean this up and make it usable again? Any tips o...

Hello all, So I haven't been on or posted in a long time, since my finances have put braces on the backburner.

Many thanks

Hello all,

I am a 25 year old male, currently residing in South Wales UK.

I am hoping to get braces soon, perhaps ceramics on top, undecided yet, also depending on costs!

Many thanks,
