Metal Mouth Message Board

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your treatment! Yes, it does sound daunting, but you seem prepared for your challenge and age is definitely on your side! Thanks for the advice.

Its sort of a ...

I'm 20, currently studying In University with a part-time job and I understand your thought process with the colour options, I went boring mode for the first couple of months with plain silver and I think its really discrete if you're quite shy about showing your teeth to people in a professional se...
