Metal Mouth Message Board

:soremouth: OHMYGAWD I know I haven't written for ages but I figure I better post something before I die from the agony in my mouth :cry: I just came back from my second adjustment (yeah yeah, I know I still haven't gotten around to writing about my first...) and it hurts already and this is after t...

. Am I right in thinking that 10 years of orthodontic treatment, especially in one's early years, can have unintended effects on one's psyche?D. I think that almost anything can have unintended effects on one's psyche... If you feel you have undealt with issues, then you do. Whether the cause of th...

Thank you all for your messages! I haven't written for a while but there hasn't been all that much to say (usual drama's with lettuce lodging itself in previously non-existent holes and crevices and no end of digestive dramas from an inability to chew pickled bean sprouts and hence swallowing them w...

I figure "give the audience what they want" so I cross a maniacal grin, with the "aaah" you do when a doctor is examing your throat, and stick out my tongue for added dramatics. The final result is a toothy snarly demented grimace. I love it!

I can see you have Class2/div2 bite problem? Have you got your X-rays in a file maybe? Please post them on the web Not sure I can be much assistance... I dont have any x-rays in digital form, and the x-rays I do have probably wouldnt be of much interest to you as they were taken to figure out what ...

Well I finally rejoined the world of the living today after my 1 week holiday and I think about half the staff and students didn't even notice I now have a mouth full of junk... it's almost disappointing since my braces feel so huge and major to me I almost wish I had gotten some gasps or something!...

I was going to update after my boy left... but he ended up staying the night and I was kind of busy :heart: He came with flowers and hugs and comforting words (I was all "nooooo... dont look at me!!!!" I dont really care what other people think but I care what he thinks) he was very sweet....

well I woke up this morning and my braces were still there... go figure! :roll: They are feeling a little bit tender, I had a painkiller and as long as I dont attempt to chew anything they are okay, I'm thinking of it as a new form of dieting. My list of things I hope I get used to: 1. Having to loo...

and its done. It took about an hour, pretty much painfree except for those weird speculum-for-the-mouth gadgets they use to keep your lips out of the way... I wish I'd never seen those dodgy swedish THIS IS SPAM PLEASE REPORT TO ADMINISTRATOR THIS IS SPAM PLEASE REPORT TO ADMINISTRATOR THIS IS SPAM ...

Thanks for your replies and support! Hannah that many teeth pulled must have been horrible... I feel like a total drama queen having panic attacks over two baby teeth! Well I have 2 hours left without a mouth full of equipment and I'm using them very poorly: chainsmoking and sending friends pictures...

Hey, I'm the closest yet! I had 2 extractions today (I was a total baby but you can read about that in my brace story) and on the 2nd my braces go on, just the top teeth for now and bottom ones later... I've stocked up on painkillers and I'm terrified and excited... wanna be brace buddies?

Today I got 2 teeth ripped out, I guess thats extraction to most people but hey, lets be honest. I was a total sooky-baby and showed not an ounce of bravery through the whole ordeal :oops: I'm 27 years old and it was my first time at the dentist since I was pre-pubescent so of course I was mortified...
