Metal Mouth Message Board

Having a closer look at my braces, I could see the coffee stain as I am a heavy coffee drinker. I guess I never really noticed it at all. And yes, the curries were good, lunch and dinner were enjoyable.

There is this Laksa house near my work, it's shame that I have been avoiding it.

Hi all, I am a bit excited. I will have my first adjustment on Wed. Since I have the ceramic ones on the top, I have been avoiding any food that may stain the braces. The likes of laksa and curry have been no-no for the past 6 weeks. For someone like me, who has curry every 2 - 3 days, the past 6 we...

I brush after lunch. It is just a bit too much to have food stuck on the wire, however, I do avoid all the snack during the day.

Thanks for all the encouraging words, appreciate them. Apart from the bracket thing, the hooks, cheek poking wire and not able to eat properly, the experience is not as bad as I first anticipated.

Good luck, shaynesgirl, Kroozergirl and Sjsarre.

I have been in and out of the dental office for the last 6 weeks or so, having my teeth pulled out and such. Really don't know what to expect on Wednesday. Really worry that I won't be able to eat some...

Thats what the Doc told me this afternoon, he said by using impants, 2 of them and a metal bar or something, he advised that by using them as anchors to pull back the front teeth, i probably wont be needing rubber band as much. What a coincidnece, he said it would cost $600.00 extra. I am not a big ...

Hello all, Newbie here, visit the orthodontic this afternoon. The office was filled with kids and their drawings, I believed that I was the only one with age in double digits among others patients, it was kind of strange. Anyway, I am a bit concern after speaking to the doc, he said that I could cho...
