Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi

I have read threads (but cant find them now) that mention you can buy hooks that you can use to help put elastics on. Where could i buy these from in the UK?

i bought some wax a few months ago, very quick delivery and they gave me a free toothbrush

Hi

My overjet\bite is about 10mm, ive had two top teeth out and the ortho said he will use the brace to move them back 5mm or so, then im too have jaw surgery!!

My ortho said it would be 18months. The dentist whos doing my jaw surgery said it would be more like 3 years - im hoping 18months

hello Im 31 male and living in the uk and ive had my braces for 5 weeks now. About a month b4 i had mine a girl at work who is around the same age had braces too. So i think its becomming more common in the Uk as we all strive for the purrrfect smile. We will all be writing stuff in the 'Teeth White...

I wanted ceramics on both top and bottom but the ortho said i had to have metal on the bottoms because my top teeth would keep hitting the bottom brackets if they were ceramics. I hit the roof when he told me and nearly stormed out the room!! But i went with it anyway and im so glad i did. I actuall...

It was gross :) - would the abcess be solid? it feels more like bone!! It looked green when it was in my mouth but now its out, its more white and red. Ive been washing my mouth out with soap and water every day for weeks, so my mouth should be clean. Although i have been swearig alot lately. My gum...

I had my two back molars out 4 weeks ago and i thought they had healed up ok; then when i had my brace fitted last friday one of gums where the tooth was extracted started bleeding when i brushed. Well two days ago i noticed a green blob on the gums, then yesterday it was a bit bigger then today it ...

Well done Kel and all.

Mine have been in since last friday, my teeth are still tender and my gums are pretty shredded but every days gets a bit better.

Still feels wierd when im talking to new people but with time ill probably forget there there.

The hooks dont have bobs on them, i think my Orphdontist is getting me back for being annoyed at home because he put metal braces on my bottoms when he origionally said he would put ceramics on both bottom and uppers.

Oh well, ill live - hopefully!! has anyone died because of there braces??

Thanks jennandtonic - we got the braces on about the same time! I only started my job last week so i didnt tell anyone i was getting braces - and today noone mentioned them :) although they probably noticed them. All my friends and family think im doing the right thing, which is nice; but why didnt ...

Thanks all KK - Im washing my mouth out with salty warm water all the time, but the wax is a pain in the behind to put on!! Im only really having problems with the two brackets at the back . Why are the hooks pointing up? Wish they were pointing down, my cheeks end up caught on them all the time bel...
