Metal Mouth Message Board

I sometimes experienced that after every couple of visits, depending on what the orthodontist was "targeting" I suppose.

Just remember to keep good care of your mouth. Rinse with warm salt water after every meal. Don't swish it around though! What I did was tilt my head around so the water would go around my mouth. Also, don't drink water through a straw nor spit, that could cause a dry socket because of the pressure ...

I got them at 16 years old, on August.

Your teeth look great! Congratulations!

I still have to get my braces off, and after seeing your post, freysmiles, I was wondering what type of changes to the occlusion can a thick Essix retainer produce? I'm wondering in these taking in count I might get my braces off soon. I hope this isn't considered as going off topic ^^

A friend of mine told me she was dying to get hers off to eat corn on the cob, lol! Orthodontist brought the idea of getting my braces off today after wearing them for around a year and a half now, and your topic made me think about what to eat. I'd probably eat Mongolian Beef Lo Mein from a Chinese...
