Metal Mouth Message Board

I just came back from vacationing in PR and while there I saw a countless number of adults with braces on. I couldn't believe it. Every time I would meet someone with braces they would give me the biggest smile letting me know they had them too. I really felt comfortable there. I live in NJ and have...

i'll be getting veneers and a couple of implants. the cost is going to be outrageous, but i started this jouney i might as well go all the way.

no credit check 1500 down and monthly payments over 15 months. i didn't even have to sign anything.

WireNana, I had one guy at my job mention that I was too old for braces but he was kidding around. Most people don't say anything. Your boss is a jerk but i am so glad you stood up for yourself. that was a good one

I don't see anything wrong with going to a dental school for any procedure braces or therwise. sure you'll be dealing with students but they are under the watchful of eyes of teachers. who are probably some of the best. In a couple of years I will need implants and I'm definitely considering a denta...

i'm only on my 11 day and i'm finding that this is the most annoying thing about braces. you're having a conversation, you smile or laugh and you can't disengage

I have the high-tech braces. what i don't understand is, how are they faster if the adjustments are 8 weeks apart? I would think that for faster results, adjustments would be closer together.

when i got my braces on last week i told a women at my job that i should have them on for about 2 1/2 years. she told me that's what the ortho told her daughter 5 years ago and she's still wearing them.

so far i think i have you all beat: braces are $5500. sonicare toothbrush heads about $120 a year if i change them every 2 months for 3 years= $360. wax, toothpaste and floride treatment about $8.20 a month for 36 months=$295.00 I will also need 2 veneers for about $1800 and to top things off I also...

dr.j after reading your post i had a thought that made me laugh. how many orthos read this forum? and is my ortho reading this and thinking, damn i knew she was crazy

i dont think people with straight teeth understand at all and why should they. people's teeth are probably something they dont focus on and probably wouldn't really notice someones teeth unless the were really gross or something. when i asked a friend of mine what is the first thing she notices abou...

KK your story was very helpful. for a minute there i was beginning to wonder if i was overreacting to the whole situation.

I always believed that the behavior of any lower ranked employee is a reflection of the attitude of upper management. its the responsibility of any manager, dr. or otherwise to know what's is going on with his employees. once he is made aware of an issue it is his responsibility to correct it, if no...

ive only been fully braced for 6 days and i cant say love is what i feel. i think im more annoyed than anything. laughing talking eating. they are constant reminders of my bad teeth gene.
