Metal Mouth Message Board

Wait because you got braces they are saying you can't use your insurance? That is ridiculous lol. That is literally saying you getting braces voids insurance. People would be up in arms over that if that was the case.

Im waiting for this day that they become apart of me as well. Right now i keep feeling like im wearing mouth guards for sports.

Waterpik is what i use. I wonder though do you absolutely have to floss everynight? I mean I do brush after every meal.

What bothers me is that my back molars dont even touch. Eating anything is such a slow pace its crazy. Just trying to slowly chew to avoid my canines hitting is tedious.

pretty much got the same thing. Wax, othro toothbrush, travel othro toothbrush, a mirror to look at my teeth. Thats pretty much it.

Just curious, are those retainers annoying? Do they ever irritate you i guess.

I'm in the same boat as you. (1 week here.) This constant flossing and brushing is driving me crazy. But im being told it will be worth it in the end. So we just gotta hold out!

Hmm my braces are at $4500. Was told 6months to 1 year depending on how well my teeth move.

Just started my braces week and a half ago. So i'm still getting used to this whole metal in mouth thing.
