Metal Mouth Message Board

oh!!! i do drink coffee, but i drink it fairly strong so i cut down just have the hot white chocolate every now and then instead! i've only got wire ties on a couple and i have noticed a little bit of a yellow tinge (nothing anyone else would notice) but i've only had then for about 10 days. Couldn'...

:D Just thought i'd share with you the yummiest ever hot drink!! it has been killing me not being able to drink coffee since i got inspire ICE clear braces up top just over a week ago! Sooo i went looking for an alternative. I don't know if it's available everywhere but i live in south australia so ...

I have the same braces (inspire ICE) on top and metals on bottom (was braced a week ago) and my upper molar hits my bottom bracket whenever i chew!! it sort of stops you in your tracks with a huge jolt!! :x I know your pain! all i've been doing is chewing sort of lopsided & on the opposite side ...

I only got my braces on thursday (4th May). One of my upper front teeth overlapped the bottom of the other as they were so crowded. They barely even touch now and i have a tiny gap! freaked me out because this started to happen after about 2 or 3 days! :shock: i haven't seen any change in my bottom ...

they're on!!! whole thing went really well! i only have very small amount of tenderness but anticipate a wonderful week of pain killers and yoghurt!! Couldn't believe i actually did it after i've talked about it and avoided it for so long! (BTW, realised i haven't really said anything bout myself, ...

thankyou all so much! this site has been what convinced me i could handle braces! i go to get them in an hour (9:15 south aus time) and i've been up for hours cos im so excited and a lil freaked! T H A N K Y O U all so much for all the last minute tips and support! :D i'll let you know how it went ...

15 hours till i'm braced! freaking out but excited, just worried about how my face will look and how i'll speak - (i know how vain that sounds...) but since i'm getting them mostly for cosmetic reasons i'm scared i'll make things worse somehow!! silly i know. :oops: I have to go to work pretty much...

oh and just a quick question...
anyone know why my spacers were only in for a few days? and can you tell me anything about the inspire ice braces?
cheers

hey, I got spacers in today and so far so good, i've had advil every 4 hours and no pain yet but i know from what i've read on here not to get too optimistic! i'm lucky tho and only have to wear them until thursday 4th, when i will be braced at 9:15!! scared out of my brain but excited as well! i'm ...

thanks heaps for that! Haha, yeh it was finding a polite response i was having trouble with!
I guess i'll quickly get comfortable with the idea that it only really matters that i know i need them! cheers again.

ok so i get braced thursday with clear top and normal bottoms... i'm pretty freaked. my teeth aren't very crooked but i have a crossbite so that my left canine is wearing away a couple of lower teeth.. also my front 4 teeth at the top are very narrow because the canines are sort of rotated.... the b...

Ceramic top metal bottom. i only have a slight crossbite and some crowding so am lucky to only have to wear them for bou...
