Metal Mouth Message Board

Hello to all of you! I've been braced for almost 2 years and never really had to approach my orthodontist regarding something so serious. Last Wednesday I went in to get my usual adjustment, she put a power chain on my upper teeth in the hopes of closing my upper gaps (left from pre-molar extraction...

Hi! Well, as to me I always brush my teeth immediately after I eat, not an hour later, I mean like right after... weather I had been eating vegetables or ice-cream... I ALWAYS use the little thingy to brush in between the brackets, that is every time I brush my teeth. I also use both a conventional ...

Hey guys! Today I had my higienist consultation! I thought about cancelling it cause I have a massive flu but it had been like 3 months since my previous cleaning. Nothing much happened, she did the usual, said my higiene is excelent! She told me to insist on my gappy canines, cause food gets stuck ...

Hi there! I think your teeth look fine, your problem is more functional, right? You must have felt quite scared when the dentist said that!? I’d have freaked out! I’m glad you sorted out everything and you now enjoying braces, the first weeks are the worse!!! Well good luck with everything! I lo...

Finally some time to write a decent report! Hi guys, had my adjustment this morning and it went fine!

Hey! This is my second time too. And when I first came to this board I hated braces as well. But then I went to my consultation and I was shown why I needed them.
