Metal Mouth Message Board

------

I was braced on Dec 20 2005.
Treatment time is supposed to be 30 months which means that if all goes as planned I have 25 more months to go

Hi Guys,

I'm doing much better then I was a couple of weeks ago!
It is still painful in the roof of my mouth but the wisdom teeth (where they were extracted) is much better

I'm looking for the best color that resists stains on ceramic braces.

Either a clear, or white, transparent (nothing like blue...)

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks so much,
Stacey

Just an update...
Still in pain...I was hoping to be back to work tomorrow but doesn't look like it's going to happen.

I'm trying to hang in there.

Thanks for the support guys

Hi Buffy, I'm 22 (female) and I know exactly how you feel! Trust me, it isn't HALF as bad as you think it is. I was apprehensive about it for a *REALLY REALLY REALLY* long time and went as far to AVOID going to the dentist so that he wouldn't tell me to go to an ortho! Get the ceramic uppers and peo...

I have had my braces on since Dec 20 2005. I only have the uppers on right now because I have an overbite. The ortho told me that as long as I keep things clean, it shouldn't effect my treatment time too much. He said that not cleaning properly effects the treatment time more then the type of bracke...

Hey! I just had surgery on the 10th of Feb. I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled (They were UNDER the gum), two baby teeth removed & canine teeth exposed. If I were you, I would go the IV route. You don't remember anything and you won't be aware of what's going on. It's much less "Stressful" in...

Hi Guys, Thank you so so so much for the support. It is very comforting to know that others know *exactly* what i'm going through. Today is a better day then yesterday was but it still is some *AWFUL* pain. The doctor gave me some penicilin so I don't think it is possible that it could be infected.....

Thanks so much guys... It is completely unbearable right now :-(( The doc gave me tylenol 3 but they are not doing ANYTHING to dull the pain. I just feel like crying right now. I'm staying at my mother's place for the time being so that I can be cared for if need be. I just can't wait for it to get ...

I had my surgery yesterday. They exposed both of my exposed cannine teeth. They also removed 3 wisdom teeth and extracted the two baby teeth (where the cannines are supposed to be). I am in sooooo much pain right now! I can barely open my mouth. I'm trying to hang in there but it absolutely sucks ri...

I'm scheduled to have my impacted canine teeth exposed on Feb 10th. They are pulling my baby teeth and exposing my canine teeth. I am also having my impacted wisdom teeth removed at the same time. I am so nervous about it. Especially after reading all the stories on the board about how long it took ...

I don't know how long the uppers are staying on but my treatment is going to take 2 1/2 years in total... ahh!

Hi Everyone, Got Braced on Dec 20th... The procedure was not as invasive as I thought it would be and it didn't take as long as I thought it would either. I only got uppers done right now. I had terrible pain in my mouth the day after (on the 21st) which is starting to go away right now. I'm startin...

Don't worry about it. We are in it together!
