Metal Mouth Message Board

After reading this post, I kinda feel much better abt myself. I must admit that for years I have wished that I looked like the girls on the covers of magazines..I kept wondering why they were so perfect..the questions that kept coming to my mind was..are they just doing the right things or is it jus...

I finally decided to buy an electric toothbrush for myself. Walmart had a variety of toothbrushes and I got really confused. I wanted one which had dual voltage becoz I am thinking of moving to Australia next year and didnt want the hassle of carrying a voltage convertor with me. Unfortunately Sonic...

Hi Destor, It might not seem like my case is complicated at first but after looking at it carefully, people can notice the flaws in my teeth. There was a slight overlap in my front teeth ( which reduced after having braces for a month) and there is a 2-3mm overjet on my left upper teeth only. As for...

Thanks a lot for the positive comments...I am also waiting for the day when I will have a perfect smile.

Hannah..I got my uppers on November 3rd, 05 and lowers on December 21st, 05 so its less than 2 months for uppers and just a week for my lowers.

I always had a smile which showed off all my teeth despite having crooked teeth. I could never manage the closed mouth smile. Here is a pic of me with a big smile taken during x-mas

I am having lot of pain in my Lower left 2nd molar...just one of them. Dont know whats causing it. IT cannot be a cavity coz I had my teeth checked a few weeks ago and my dentist said that it was all good. Maybe its the cold weather coz the temperature in toronto currently is - 10 and the pain start...

I paid $5020 Canadian.

I am getting my first adjustment on 21st December too as well as braces on lower teeth so it will be a bad christmas for me too

I paid 2000 upfront and decided to go with paying $200 monthly. The reason for this was that I might have to move to Australia next year..not certain as yet so to be on the safe side, I decided to go monthly rather than paying unfront.

I got a goodie bag too. I got a 4 tooth brushes, tooth paste, emergency kit, electric floss, mirror, wax and even a t-shirt.

Dont worry..it wont harm you. 2 days after I got my braces, I swallowed a bracket. I didnt even know that I had done it until I was brushing after the meal. My orthodontist said that it was ok and it doesnt harm the body.

Thats great..congratulations!!

Your teeth are looking really good and straight.

Hello, I have ceramic braces and being an indian my diet consists 90% of the time of curry. The great thing is that my ceramics havent stained. I really like my ceramic braces..i have had a few pics taken and the best thing is that u cant even see the braces in the pics. Even I had to look really ca...
