Metal Mouth Message Board

for your kind words, bracedagain and KK ! I am happy with the progress, but like us greedy americans, I can wait for more! (You know, bigger, faster changes, whiter teeth, etc.. argh!) One question though.. to anyone that wears elastics, do you break them often? At first, I was breaking the left ela...

My apologies.. I was waiting for my darling to get a better camera (so I could steal it, no less.. and then he had to send it in for repairs already)... so I'm back to bad pics.. anyway... Now 2 adjustments into it.. I must say that I wish I would have taken pictures last month.. My teeth seem to be...

ps: awesome picture! I love your haircut! :D I want to do something short and stylish, but haven't taken the plunge yet- last year I chopped off my long locks for charity and I am still in the regrowth stage :lol: oh.. and this is awesome! I had chopped off my hair when I was 15.. I wish I would ha...

i haven't been around for a bit, my apologies! Work has had me running in circles.. but sometimes getting SOMETHING done.. haha My lovely teeth have been hard at work too... as of tomorrow it will have been one month in braces.. hooray! (?) I can definitely tell there has been some changes.. it almo...

I put together my own denta-kit of sorts.. (Not to knock the one on this site, I'm sure it works quite well!).. but I found a slim make-up case for $2 and just added in my own supplies.. all of the ones in the denta kit, except for the collapse-able cup.. which I sometimes wish I had, darn it all! a...

I recommend them highly! You can buy "gum" floss threaders at most department stores.. I haven't seen any other kinds... but they kind of look like a large needle made of fishing line.. If you cannot get floss up between your teeth to your gums, you can sometimes work the floss threader be...

ugh- Belmikry , I agree! I hate hate hate swallowing pills! Although I must admit, I'm getting much better at it! haha.. Actually, I think I've finally settled into that waiting period that is so lovely.. I keep giving my teeth little pep talks (come you little guys! you can move it!).. but I'm not ...

... count me in as well!!

I was amused that I was told that I couldn't eat ribs.. goodness gracious! How will I live?!?

I would also probably be vegan, except I looooove cheese! argh! Its my weakness!

How wonderful that you are already seeing progress! Your top teeth most definitely look straighter- good for you!

Can't wait to see what lies ahead! We have to compare notes; I'm only 3 days behind you (but a whole lot more work to be done, I think.. dun dun dun)!

Yes, belmikry ! I agree! I got 3/4 of my teeth flossed last night.. which is a step up from none at all! haha.. they are just EXTREMELY tight.. argh. But all this will be worth it, right?? haha.. I think I will look into the Arnica tablets.. I haven't heard of those.. I would rather take something n...

Well.. so I've been a little lax lately.. but today marks my fourth day in braces... still tender, still waking up with an achy mouth, but I'm hoping this too shall pass, yes? I just keep dreaming of biting into a piece of pizza.. and being that today is the Super Bowl.. its rather disheartening. .h...

I'll be getting "braced" on Thursday.. both upper and lower- metal all around!

I really should be working, but I'm working out of the home today, and I'm just not ready to quite get started on reports as of yet.. so instead, what do I do? But take the last pictures that anyone whall ever see of my lovely gaps before they are enclosed in metal! (I think if I was not previously ...

Even though it has been a bit since your treatment, I've newly began checking out this site, and I must say that your results are marvelous! This gives me hope that I may be able to expect such results as well! (and maybe in a reduced time?? haha... perhaps under your pictures it should read "r...

Thank you sydsmom ! I'll definitely try the smoothy idea! I've been trying to research some (vegetarian) soft food ideas.. I keep finding lots of dairy-type foods, which is ok, although I'd rather not live on that route! But I think my fav smoothy is organic vanilla yogurt, a banana, and choc soy mi...
