Metal Mouth Message Board

For all UK people, where can I buy some dental wax from? I only got one packet/container thingy of wax from my ortho when I got my braces and It is running out now :( my ortho is an hours drive away so I wondered where I can go to buy some - do they sell it in chemists? Would my normal dentist have ...

I apologise for my flippant comment. I agree with you, we shouldn't judge people or have predjudices. It was supposed to be a little joke, I meant to add a little grinning emoticon after the rolling eyes one but forgot and couldn't go back in and edit it.

I'm veggie too

Of course. It takes a crazy person to understand another crazy person

LOL!!! Cheeky!

My ortho uses all types of brackets (well, as in Damon, clear, metal), but for me he said that the Damon braces would get the best result without having to have teeth out. No teeth out is the main bonus for me! I've had my Damon 3's since last Friday, and they haven't caused me much pain and aren't ...

I had my braces on last Friday and i'm doing ok. I never had pain as such, just tenderness when I bit down. My molars aren't really sensitive at all now but my front teeth are. I have a couple of sore patches that I'm using wax for, but other than that I am fine, I can talk ok, and I have pretty muc...

I've only just had my braces on and have noticed that one of my teeth makes that popping sound (very slightly), and yes, I keep pressing it to make it pop too, its a bit sick really LOL!

Thats great that the female ortho will do that! And typical of a man not to understand :roll: I'm getting married in July and have just had my braces put on, but I really hated being in that chair for so long having the brackets put on, I don't fancy going through that again?! And also I think my or...

Awww thats a nice pic, you both look really cool! And also like you have lovely teeth already

Have you got Damon braces?

Hi Inert :) I too had braces fitted on 10th february, and I've also got Damon 3's upper and lower! So far I have the odd bit of rubbing, which the wax is helping, and slight tooth tenderness but nothing too bad. I've got molar build-ups, which feels pretty weird, i only have two pairs of teeth that ...

Snowbunny, I just replied to your thread! It went ok, I had mushy curry for tea too, LOL! Teeth a bit tender now but ibuprofen is helping!

Congratulations! I got my braces today too, upper and lower Damon 3's. I've just managed to eat a takeaway curry, although half of it got stuck in my braces :? but nevermind! Front teeth are a tiny bit tender now, but not too bad. tomorrow will be different though I think..... They built up my molar...

Well tomorrow is the day for me

I have been out and bought some ibuprofen, and a waterpik. Oh and stocked up on soup!

I'm a bit worried about this too, because I get married in July and have already ordered my dress, I want it to still be the right size! I am pretty skinny already and don't want to lose any weight anyway.

zuccamori - my ortho says that I might need to have some extractions down the line, and if so it will be the wisdom teeth that will come out, so I think it must be pretty normal. I've had one out already and it wasn't too bad, so don't worry. I can't believe that this time next week I will be gettin...
