Metal Mouth Message Board

I have HORRIBLY crooked teeth, and I've heard this a few times from people. "You're teeth weren't that bad to begin with". I think it's just something that people say cause they don't konw what else to say. Or maybe it's because I've spent so much time hiding my smile that they just never ...

I'm sorry Kimmy, that your post kinda took a detour because of me...
I hope that you can find a way to get the money you need

Good luck

What's so wrong with my parents and my boyfriend helping me?
They know this is something I need, and I told them about what I was doing and they said they would help.

weird_weird,
I've been meaning to ask you...
I love how your braces look, would you mind if I steal your "Design" lol

Congrats Kell!
I found myself wondering how you were doing, since I was reading a lot on the forum yesterday!
I'm glad that everything went well, and your braces look awesome!

Sorry your appointment was so horrible :( Wisdom teeth are nasty little buggers... I got mine out about a year ago, and it was the worst experience of my life (I was awake through the whole thing).

Oh my gosh,
the thought of that just made me cringe..
It's good that it will get better though...
I hope you are feeling better...
give yourself some good TLC!

I was told $5000 Canadian. My initial consultation was $40, and I''m going for a second consultation, not sure if I'll be charged again (it's been a few years since my first consultation) $1100 down, and the remainder over the length of the treatment, interest free. I think extractions are extra, no...

I don't even have my braces on yet and I'm obsessed,
I even thought of going into the dental field...

I'm a woman obsessed!

Hi Lysachick , and thanks for posting this... I'm thinking of having a baby in the near future, and I had heard that if you had braces, and got them off that they would move back to their original positions... so I was worried that if I had my braces on while I got pregnant that they would get screw...

Thanks for posting this! I'm not-so-patiently awaiting my braces! i know I was really worried about what people would think because most of them had braces when they were younger, and I feel like the odd one out! Maybe they will make me look better :) Thanks... this really helped! Good Luck with you...
