Metal Mouth Message Board

I went in today with the intent of getting the ball rolling to have my braces removed next month/next appointment. However, the doc assured me to bear with her for just three more months and she will be done. She also contacted the RDH who treated me last week so that she could view the x-rays. Assu...

I'm part of the family, just thought I'd say a quick hi!

Welcome!

Ok peeps- To start off, I will say "I am not downing braces!", as I am aware this is my own fault. Now, for the rest of the story... Today was not a good day. Went to my dentist for a 6 month cleaning. I have this wonderfl RDH named Melanie. She took both bitewing and a panoramic x-ray and...

Absolutely!!

so another 5 months have went by... everything is looking really good and all I'm waiting on is for one space to close between the upper right 4 & 5. Getting excited about the removal.

I can't believe it's been 5 months since I posted on here. I've seen a lot of progress since then. My ortho missed her projection of 2 years but she still says it should not be much longer. There is so many pieces and parts in my mouth it isn't even funny. I am currently wearing a rubber band from a...

I got one about a week ago and the tech said "I bet you'll be crying tomorrow!" I can't wait to see her again - I can feel it working but there is no pain. Can anyone answer this... How long should it take to aling the midline? We've been working on this for about 6 months and I can't see ...

glad to have you dingo!

I understand what you are saying. I am going to ask for pre-pics of my lowers when I go on Wednesday and then take a pic now. I'll post them somewhere and show you what mine were like. The way mine were corrected is: When my tops went on in September 04, the bottoms were not applied. However, the ba...

more. However, when I do floss, I make a mess of it and shred the floss in my teeth and stuff. Anyway, I know what you are talking about. Have you tried the floss that doesn't shred. I can't think of the name, but I think it is made by Oral-B. It comes in a translucent blue container. That is what ...

I must admit that in addition to being lazy, I simply do not have the time to floss. I started out with the floss threaders and then found out about the threader floss. Prior to braces, I used one of the floss handles, the plastic handle shaped like a Y. That was no problem, but I just can't devote ...

Lord, I've heard everything hard to deal with when it comes to a woman? Not that I know from experience. And, Ladies, I'm not trying to bash you so don't even start in on me or us for that matter!

I love the way your pic(s) scroll, Raleigh! How did you do that? I moved up a wire yesterday on the bottom, and I am feeling it working. I'm not into pain as some people are, it's just that I tolerate it very well thank goodness. The reason for the discomfort is my bottome canines were practically l...

GEEEEEEEE, do ya think you might could take this conversation elsewhere?
