Metal Mouth Message Board

Ever since I got my braces removed..it's been a little over a week, I keep accidentally biting the inside of my mouth...inside left side of bottom lip. I don't mean to do it and I've bit so hard it's started bleeding before. Has anyone else experience this? I used to have an open bite and now my bit...

Thanks for the words of encouragement and advice. I've taken some Ibuprofen...that's the strongest stuff I have and the pain is still there. It is horrible. Hopefully when I wake up in the morning it is not this bad.

I had extractions a couple weeks ago and I had my archwire put back on today...they put a thicker archwire on and used wire ties instead of those rubber band things. My teeth hurt so bad now...it's only been 7 hours. I have a really bad headache now and my son accidentally knocked his head into my m...

Maybe you should stop sucking your thumb.

I had mine done 2 weeks ago, 4 extractions. It was $95 per tooth, my insurance paid 70%. I ended up responsible for $114 of the bill.

I had four impacted wisdom teeth removed and some other tooth that was hidden, but revealed with the x-rays.

That day was horrible, but I think that night I popped some pain pills and went clubbing! DO NOT do that! I was a foolish 21 yr old and ended up with dry socket on the bottom left side.

my molars were so tight, that when the assistant put in one of the spacers on the top, she was cramming it in there with that instrument of torture and it slipped off and she stabbed me with it in my mouth. It was horrible. I was pretty shocked...she just said sorry and did the rest of them. I was s...

I just got my braces put on yesterday, and nothing seems to be working right. I have a cold sore on my lip that isn't healing at all...and to top it off, these braces are killing my teeth. I didn't think it was going to be this bad! I have wax pretty much on every bracket because it's poking my ski...

I got my braces on the 14th, so it's been 6 days now and I still feel so blah. I usually work out religiously and since I got the braces I have felt like crud and haven't worked out at all. Not a bit. I just feel so blah and have a constant headache lately. I wonder if I have new brace depression or...

did you realize you just posted your phone number on the web? pretty trusting.

Everyone seems to like their Sonicare a lot, but I'm just not sure if I see the advantage over my Crest SpinBrush. It too has made brusing tons easier. I have ceramic brackets and clear ligs, and luckliy, so far I haven't noticed any staining. I don't know if this is due to my diet (I don't eat any...

Last night my hubby and I got into a teeny argument and he called me a brace face and I just broke down in tears. Ouch, hope it's resolved shortly. I do think that we all often say mean things with our fulling realizing how cruel our words can be. I don't think he realized how sensitive I would be ...

I've had my braces for only 4 days now and am already self conscious about them, I talk with a lisp sort of now and my family is constantly asking me to "say this" or "say that". Last night my hubby and I got into a teeny argument and he called me a brace face and I just broke do...

OK I'm not braced yet, but this is an appliance they gave me back in June/July. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/bajanrose/Picture901.jpg It hasn't affected my speech or eating and it's to help the molars move to create more space so I can get my top braces in January hopefully. this doesn't b...
