Metal Mouth Message Board

Funny thing is , I am noticed GOOD changes with my face. Less gaunt, more square. Maybe we kind of even out? Because I already had a long face but maybe that was caused by my bite being off for so many years. Also my cheekbones are more prominent, but I like! I have always want high cheekbones ;)

I am also 6 weeks into Damon braces . Hopefully all goes well for you!

I have springs on my bottom front teeth and they are pushing them apart to make room to bring forward some teeth that are behind others. I have also heard there are sprigs that do the opposite, pull teeth together.

I had spacers and I had to puree all my food. Even eating rice pudding was too had for me :( BUT your experience may be different. I had such crowded teeth.
So take pain meds and lots of smoothies!

I like a chocolate banana smoothie:
1 banana
milk
ice
vanilla
sugar
cacao powder
pinch of salt

I make a huge batch of lentil soup and freeze it in individual packets.

Wow that is really encouraging. I have only had my braces going on five weeks and I can see some progress but not a lot. That really makes me happy to think how much can be done in so short of a time.
