Metal Mouth Message Board

Maybe her dad feels sorry for her knowing she couldn't get a job anywhere else. :lol: LOL, I think you may be right on that one... :) I don't know, I don't want to be a trouble-maker or anything. It is just such a sticky situation. I guess I will try to talk to the other orthodontist (who is not th...

It has been a while since I last posted here. And since then, I learned to dislike a certain assistant, who is just plain rude and incompetent. I need to vent, and I need advice. First, when I first had my brackets installed, the ortho. told the assistant to put some cement on my mollars to prevent ...

Does anyone have pics they wouldn't mind posting? I know, I'm just so anxious :oops: I'm 26 y/o and FINALLY getting braces :D Ok, here is a link to the other post where I have a pic. By the way, I too am 26 yo. Top is definetly Damon 3s. Bottom I am not sure how they are called, but they have the s...

Here is mine. Sorry for the gigantic picture, I tried to resize it at photobucket but I don't know what is happening, it either comes this large or this small, even though I ask to resize to 50% ... :arrow: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/bioworldmaker/DSCF0005.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/...

LOL Karate Kid has nothing on me, I wax on / wax off way more often! I have the same question as you do. I change the wax every 4 hours or so everytime I brush :?: Before breakfast / after breakfast remove before lunch / replace after lunch remove before snack / replace after snack remove before din...

Three words for you: Wax , Peroxyl and Patience I probably would be writting a post just like yours if it wasn't for WAX. The brackets with hooks feel razor sharp, and they do cut into your cheeks like butter. That is where those 2 things come together: the wax covers the hook so no more poking thro...

I tried getting it out with the floss but that didn't go too well. I went back to the office today, hoping to talk to the ortho but... what a "surprise", he wasn't even there... :? No big deal I guess, today's assistant was OK and was able to answer some of my questions. Back to the glued ...

Yeee! Welcome to having braces! My experience wasn't yet nearly as bad (painful) as I thought it would be, or maybe I am just speaking too soon :?: Since I was braced 2 days ago, I found out that wax has become my mouth's best friend, and it should be everywhere: purse, car, school bag, etc. My mout...

Thank you all for the replies!

I know, I just had a "cry baby" moment yesterday...
It may have something to do with not being able to eat very well...

Anyway, my appt is later this afternoon, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again!

Ahh!! :-= I am so mad! I don't know why I am paying big bucks to go to this Harvaard ortho. if who does *all* the work is the assistant! When she was done with everything he barelly looked at my mouth, said OK and walked away! Problem is... It is not OK! I got Damon 3s last Monday. I must confess th...

I had that...the ortho put on an inside button and an elastic to move the bite so that tooth didn't hit...worked in just 2 weeks. Wow... 2 weeks? I wonder how long I will have this horrible thing on. But can an overbite be fixed that quick? I thought that was only taken care of at the end of the tr...

Wow, thanks for the quick replies! :D Destor I am glad to hear you got used to chew food with this weird cement thing... How long did it take for them to take yours out? Or, how long did it take for you to learn to chew with 2 teeth? LOL jrbecca Thanks for the reply! =) I am just glad Destor said it...

My native language is not English, so I'll try to explain what happened the best I can... Ok, so I went to get my braces on today. Got Damon 3s on both top and bottom. But, by the time they were done placing them both, I couldn't bite with my back teeth without hitting my upper front teeth on the lo...

I'll be getting Damon 3s today. =)
I'll let you know what I find out...

Today!!

Jan. 16th here! =)
