Metal Mouth Message Board

So I was told by my ortho's assistant that I could get my teeth whitened whenever I want after my braces are removed... However I contacted a dentist's clinic and the receptionist said I should wait a couple of weeks to a month... :( And it is very important that I get a dental cleaning before I get...

Unfortunately my ortho doesn't do teeth whitening!

I will have to contact my dentist I suppose... I really want to get it professionally done, I tried a Crest teeth whitening kit couple of years ago, it was around $50 for the box and I did not notice a significant change...

I sure will do!!

Wow! You must be so happy

I have chains and the thing I really hate about them, is how quickly they get stained!! I drink a lot of coffee and they become bright yellow... It is really annoying, especially since I paid extra to get ceramic braces. My wires are white but the chains around them are bright yellow, which makes my...

I was depressed when I first got my braces too... I had trouble talking and eating (I'm a huuuge foodie...). The braces felt huge, especially since I've been told they wouldn't be too noticeable because I have plump lips. I was under the impression that my braces was all people noticed when they tal...

Wow amazing result!!

I am surprised it only took 45 minutes. I have my braces removal date scheduled and was told it would take approximately 2 hours...

I am getting my braces removed next Thursday and am really excited about it! I want to get a teeth whitening treatment because my teeth are yellow and stained from drinking too much coffee... I asked my ortho when I could get my teeth whitened after my braces are off he said whenever I want... But I...

However, whenever my ortho puts chains (it's transparent) : http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_57azC5qpCfA/TS9rGmbh0AI/AAAAAAAAAIE/Hgysmv1VVHY/s1600/13+Months+++++1-13-2011+%25286%2529.JPG they get stained really fast and look bright yellow...

My treatment was supposed to last 24 months, I will have had them for 26 months by August... So it's not so bad...

I had my appointment today and I am keeping the same date to have my braces removed. They shoudl be off in a month! I talked with my orthodontist and he said the tiny gap in the middle top cannot be completely closed because of the shape of my teeth, it can't be changed. However, he gave me new elas...

I love the Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection toothpaste. I had really bad gingivitis after a couple of months with my braces, because I did not floss daily as recommended by my doctor. After using this toothpaste and flossing daily, I do not have swollen and bleeding gums anymore.

I have ceramic braces and paid $7000 for them. I am supposed to have them for 2 years.

I remove my elastics when I have a night out during the week-end...

I have my last follow-up appointment with my orthodontist next week, before getting my braces removed in mid-August. I still feel like my teeth are not totally perfect, I have one teeth in the middle top that is not completely straight. My top and bottom teeth are not perfectly parallel, I mean the ...

I paid mine off last month as well :)
