Metal Mouth Message Board

I haven't even had my adjustment and the soreness is so hit and miss. Good one day and sore the next.

I'm in the same boat. I have a two year old that does nothing but snack all day. We always have goldfish, baby snacks, pringles, popcorn and other tasty things around. I've found it far to much of a hassle to even indulge in a chip now. Who wants to rinse and brush after that? Not this guy :-} but ...

Wow those are some nice looking teeth! Not only are they straight but they look super healthy..

It's posts ike this that make me giddy to see results in my own mouth congratulations!

When I first showed my mom my braces the other day her first words were "but your crooked teeth gave you character!"

Some people don't seem to understand the insecurities that come along with having a jacked smile!!

Only 5 days and I could be a complete weirdo but I feel a change in my bite. I had a wonky tooth that kind of jets out and before braces I could bite down and all the teeth would sit in a comfortable position but now when I bite the wonky tooth is starting to connect at a point that it didn't before...

I absolutely love mine! I had it for a year before I was even braced and have gotten plenty of use out of it. 50$ score in the target clearance section packaged with the vibrating toothbrush!

Between the 2 my teeth feel awesome afterwards.

Way to go! Seeing everyone's posts about getting debraced makes me wish i had started sooner. Better later than never

Got mine 4 days ago and I'm the ripe old age of 32..Woop woop!!

Sweet!

I'm only on day 4 and i'm slowly getting a little confidence with them. With strangers its not a problem but with friends and family for the first time is still a little iffy. Thanksgiving should be interesting!!

I don't have much experience with the IV sedation but when I finally got myself into the dentist for fillings on both sides a deep cleaning they gave me nitrous and a shot in the arm that really kicked my butt. I didn't really remember much of the experience, it was 2 hours in the chair that felt li...

So I'm 32, just got my braces 3 days ago and was looking for a little bit of input from someone who might be in the same situation I'm in. A have slight over crowding on both the bottom and top along with all four wisdom teeth that have came in perfectly straight. Upon my first consultation I brough...

My delay was because of a huge dentist fear. It was about a year and half ago I gathered the courage to finally get my butt in the chair to get some fillings and a regular cleaning schedule going for myself. Now honestly, in a weird way I'm starting to enjoy my visits. I found a pretty gentle dentis...

Sweet progress! I'm just getting started but it's post like yours that keep me going!!

Thanks for the replies everyone.. I'm getting the hang of it. I guess the eating is the toughest part. Last night for dinner I made a couple bean burritos with some diced onion in it and what an eye opener!! Yes it was soft but that damn mushy tortilla really gave me a run for my money. I couldn't b...

Mine was a consultation about my different options and then a couple weeks later (This morning) I was in the chair getting all geared up..It's gonna be a long trip but hopefully it's all worth it =)
