Metal Mouth Message Board

I just update the first post.

I'll show my retainers when they come in.
I figure someone might want to see them. LOL
I haven't been able to find any with the fake teeth attached. I've looked because I want to see what mine will look like. LOL


I'm so HAPPY

They look great!!!

If you search back on this page or maybe the next .... you can see my last most and my teeth now. I've been in braces for 20 months, before that I spent 6 months or so paying for other dental care. I had 4 fillings, 2 impacted wisdom teeth taken out, and one crown taken care of. After the braces wen...

I had mine done about 6 months into treatment... as soon as they straightened up. I get my braces off May 1st, it wil have been 20 months total treatment time. It didn't hurt at all. The bottoms felt funny if I rubbed them with my tongue for a while....wasn't totally smooth (even though they where s...

He did file the front two teeth to make them more even. It was done about 6 months into treatment when they straightened up to each other.
I didn't even know he was doing it, untill he started doing it.
Not sure if he plans on doing anymore shaping or not.

I've like to see pictures if you don't mind sharing. I'm wondering what they look like. LOL

I'm glad you where able to get the treatment you wanted!

Well I'm almost 30 and I've always wanted/needed braces. But my mom was a single mom and couldn't afford them. My husband I and just got to where he'd gotten enough raises to be able to afford the extra month. We have three kids who might be needing them in the next few years. So we really can't aff...

The missing teeth are back molars. If you go to the shutterfly link, I have open mouth pictures. The midline thing bugs me LOL but I'm probably the only one who notices. Since I was missing two back molars it did limit things.... probably would have extracted two bottom teeth instead of one. Then th...

I'm just updating this thread with the new picture..to make it easier. LOL My appt was at 10am, and I left right at 12 ... long two hours. Nothing hurt, I'm still amazed at how easy the brackets and bands came off... I was worried about though bands. LOL I need a deep cleaning all around, root canel...

well thats kinda part of the problem...

When I brought it up before.. the bonding, whiting, and maybe triming some gum ... he said it could all be done, knew/saw what I wanted and agreeed...said we'd talk about it when they came off.

My next appt is Feb 14, I'll press for better answers then.

Things that might seem silly LOL Last month I was told my braces would come off in March or April. YAYYYY!! I want to whiten my teeth when they come off, and have some bonding done on two teeth. But I'll also be getting my retainers....I can't afford to buy extra ones. So I need to get the right one...

What did you do? Or do you know of other options? I'm getting close to the end of my treatment. I hope LOL According to the teeth diagram they gave me. LOL I'm missing numbers 13 and 19. They want me to get bridges but I can't afford them ($2,237. EACH). Didn't tell me the price of implants, but I'm...

Congratulations


Your smile looks great!

I kinda really feel bad LOL Because I read posts about them rubbing/pinching ... But so far mine haven't. My brother had a girlfriend .... Its been a few years, but I remember hers opening further.... Mine only allow me to open my mouth a little... I can barely fit my finger between my teeth, and ev...

But I've been wearing them except when I eat, so closer to say 20 hours a day. ( dr had approved wearing them more, but to take them out for eating.. LOL has if I can open my m...
