Metal Mouth Message Board

On my last ortho visit I was shocked they put a powerchain on. I'm guessing it won't be for long since I didn't really thing my teeth has spaces. I chose hot pink ligs. So later on I went mini golfing and the whole place is black lit. The pink ligs and powerchain really lit up. So if your going to c...

I have never done will with any type of metals. I specifically asked about this. I was told that usually people that are allergic to metal are not affected with braces, something about the siliva. Not saying you won't have a reaction. did you pay yet? sign a contract?

After coming back from the ortho I thought to myself, perhaps I'm too picky? See, last time I got hot pink and bright green ligs checkered. Well when I got home they were checkered horizonally but not veritcally. Basically, my top and bottom arch were identicial color for color. So technically check...

There may be hope, but you'll have to talk to your otho and surgeon about it. I believe a small part of the crown of my canain was fused and the surgeon removed the bone it was fused to. He also removed gum tissue on the inside of the gums. While it is going slow, it is also pulling the surrounding ...

How's your canine travelling?

Just dandy! I'll try to take some pics tomorrow. While the canine is being pulled down, it's also pulling the surrounding teeth up, thus I need the elastics, BUT... The tooth is coming in and is visible now x 10 So glad this all coming along.

Any color really, just have fun

So on my last visit, I was told it was time for elastsics. No big deal I thought. These things are annoying and they keep breaking! I also think I've swallowed a few of them. Non toxic right? I'll be eating and think, I didn't take it out, I know I had one on. Whoops! Anyone else have that. Of cours...

Can't believe it's been a year for me already! Where did the time go? Almost halfway.

Relax, I got braced yesterday. Ok, not really, but it feels that way. Like you I was very very nervous. Nervous about getting braced, nervous knowing the process involved surgery. I don't think slept much the night before. You'll most likely walk out of the place and think, wow... I was worried for ...

I went with full metal braces, never regretted a moment of it. Besides it's all color goodness at each appointment.

Looks like I'm getting braced again I got spacers a couple days ago ( man my teeth hurt ) and I'll be getting my lower arch braced. Took long enough, been almost year since I got my top braces.

Time for Christmas colors.

Betty is not leaving mode. I thought about it, but quickly came to realize this won't happen any time soon, if ever. Here is why. There is too much story with Mode magazine. Daniel her boss along with his dad and fay and all that drama is the real under lying plot of the story. Betty's adventures ar...

I was told I needed one root-canal western dental did it however it was the wrong tooth for the root-canal they did it again yet wrong for the second time and finally the third time they did it ...

You'll get used to it. At first it was wierd, but after a while they felt comfy if you will, like they belong.

It's completely natural to be nervous. Man, I sure was. I remember it well. But look at my ticker now, over 9 months have passed. Just remember, the sooner you start the sooner it will be over. I tell you the truth, it is not that bad. I've had 3 brace related surgerys, and I can tell you, I was all...
