Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi to everyone! My braces were fitted about two months ago and i want to share with you some progress. It hasn't been soo traumatic really, i can count 4-6 bad days but nothing more. i never felt "pain", just a really intense disconfort! On the 5th of June i have my 3th appointment, my ort...

I Is it too late for you to get the expander placed ? I think it'll help in the long run (if you do need it) . when in doubt, ask your ortho ! :) Hi Jeska! i should speak with her but honestly it feels a bit weird as she is always in rush and i am reeeally shy! i don't know what to do if she turn d...

Hi Heidiris!
Yes i didn't take in consideration that i could brake them! I will definitly be more careful when i'll have also the bottom brakets fitted and on my last molars.

Loove this!! I hope I'll be at your same point after 9 months.

Did your dentist put your top and bottom brakets at the same time?
ps: do you have your lip line tattoed??

Hi guys Few years ago i had a consultation with a orthodontist that suggested me to wear palate expander and braces. he was a really confident person, but he did two things that really putted me off: first of all he was keeping recommending other peoples to do other consultation (ex. he recommended ...

omg. I am soooo happy for you finally doing the treatment. Did she suggested a palate expander? Did you talked about it?

I smoke, i drink coffee, and i looove to eat pizza crust. Too bad as i own a pizzeria and get to eat pizza every day :D

I think that if the problem is only the size of the teeth maybe you can wait and think about veneers in the future!
But if you notice that it does give you a functional problem you should talk with your doctor, maybe he can came up with a better idea.

Vegan lasagne with artichokes and pesto :3

But i really don't struggle with hard/cruncy food. I know it is not recommended but i don't feel that much pain to avoid pizza crust, or toasted bread.

I am going trought the same. I saw years after years my teeth changing, and i had to convince both my parents and family members that it was something i needed to do. Old generations they are not educated enough on How a bad denture structure can affect your autostime and health. I remember crying f...

honestly you need to stop caring about feeling not authentic. You did something that was needed, and between the two, if i would have the financial opportunity, i would definitly had choose surgery as well!! let me tell you, you look great, stop looking back and enjoy the change. it is impossible to...

I understand what you are going through. I have an underveloped side of my face, but knowing that i'll never have the money to do surgery, i decide to just try the braces and see if they can improve the situation. If you have the financial opportunity go to a maxillofacial surgeon asap. He is gonna ...

I'm soo surprised from the results.
I thought most of the people wear braces during puberty.

Kind of make me feel better, I'm 23 and I am starting now

I believe it can be only temporary, is impossible to judge this small changes before ending the treatment!

(ps: i hope the leghtening of the philtrum is not a commong thing when treating the class II. My one is already annoyingly long!!)

thanks for your answer ((:

Hi guys! On monday i will have my braces fitted after waiting five long years saving the money. I have a small overbite, crowding, and an unexistant bite. My front teeth are bended inward. Did any of you noticed a big difference on the shape of your lips and how your mouth look when you smile after ...
