Metal Mouth Message Board

I had my braces removed yesterday and I went out and bought a box of Crest White strips. My teeth are very white and straight, but I noticed a little staining so I used a set last night. As I type I am wearing another set of them. My dentist is on maternity leave until the end of September and beca...

I love my teeth. They are beautiful. Can someone please tell me how to post my pics? They aren't perfect and my bite is still off, but I love them. My ceramic brackets came off without any problems. The scraping/filing was no big deal and I had no sensitivity. The removal process took 20 minutes. T...

My first meal was a Big Mac and a LARGE sweet tea. I'm from the south so sweet tea is the thing to drink. I love my new smile. I can't stop staring.

My teeth aren't perfect, but it has been 3 years and we have tried everything except surgery. My ortho thought that she could correct my bite without an operation, but now she feels that she has done all that she can to give me a beautiful smile. I love my teeth and I don't care if my bite is sligh...

I will be debanded tomorrow and I am excited about my first meal without braces. I don't know what to eat...should it be Mexican, Italian...I know this sounds crazy, but could you guys give me some suggestions on what your first meal was. I will put the ideas in a hat and pull one out. I am just to...

Never hesitate to call your ortho. I know I have a fantastic one and I call all the time to have my ligs changed. I know alot of people say that no one else notices, but that's not true people notice when you have a yellow band across your teeth. I go in about every 3 weeks to have mine changed. Th...

I have metal on the bottom and ceramic on top. My crown was not affected by wearing braces and moved with the other teeth. The only down side to ceramics is that the ligatures(moduals)/power chains turn yellow quickly. It is NOT a good look. I am happy with my choice though because my job requires ...

I was told that I would only need braces for 24 months. Well due to a stubborn overbite I will have been in braces for 3 years. My deband date is Aug. 6th. My teeth aren't perfect, but at this time I am ready to be free. My friend was told 24 months and she only needed 9 months and her teeth were w...

I just have to shout the good news. I finally have a deband date. I was originally told that I would only need 24 months, well it will be 3 years and 1 day when I am finally free. I am so excited. I was braced along with KK(one day difference) and I wish I could share the good news with her. My bite...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share with everyone that I found a new(new to me) toothpaste in the local Walmart or Wally-World as I call it. It's called Topol Professional. It's main purpose is to clean tobacco, wine, coffee and tea stains( I don't use any of these things but I thought what the heck...

Drugstore.com list the price for Topol Professional as $3.99 for a 2.7 oz tube. Walmart is cheaper because its Walmart. Shop around I am sure you can find it for a reasonable price.
