Metal Mouth Message Board

thanks guys

well my initial orthodontist was with me for about 4 years and when he finally decided i needed braces he literally gave me to train tracks across my two top teeth to close the gap...it looked pathetic and i had never seen anyone have such treatment..so anyways after that he gave me a retainer which...

hey guys, i had elastics put on my teeth last week but to be honest i havent noticed much change and i only experienced minor pain the first couple of days. has that happened with anyone here. do some elastic treatments take more time than others?

oh my god, popcorn is a nightmare without braces let alone with them! i cnat stand it when they get stuck in your mouth.
i have to say the easiest thing to eat with braces is ICECREAM! no fuss just lovely smooth melt in your mouth icecream aahhh heaven!

eewww that's gross isnt it!? well i'm glad i dont have those anymore. hehe.
thanks guys

i always brush first thing in the morning. i cant bare the fact of having breakfast when i still have the taste of night breath (is there such thing?...you know what i mean!) in my mouth. it grosses me out. i brush my teeth then have breakfast. by the time i get my brekkie ready you dont get that mi...

it's been a long time now when i had them taken out, but when you guys had your spacers in and then your ortho took them out of your mouth after theyd been there for a week or so, did they smell disgusting? like...of food or bad breath. i remember when i had mine in my mouth and then they were takin...

thanks guys

COUS COUS is another one that is really annoying. i was actually having that today for dinner and it caused me so much grief...i thought to myself this darn food has to be mentioned on the metal mouth message board. it causes us fellow brace sufferers too much unwanted discomfort...but oh it is deli...

my teeth are in the process of moving around and all that mallakeey, but do any of you get the feeling sometimes that one tooth is pushing against another one too much and it hurts slightly?

thanks flora appreciate it

i always cross my legs at the ankles too. it's very comfortable and i always thought it gave out the notion that i was relaxed and intrepid!.....guess i was wrong there! lol

hey there, i think i posted something similar to this. i had four teeth extracted too and now my bottom jaw is all gaps gaps gaps. it looks kinda weird, and they were also protruding, but not my ortho is starting to put them back in place and i can gradually see the gap being reduced. again, i also ...

my bottom teeth have spaced out and protruded slightly after i had my extractions and then had my brace put on. why do you think the doctor did this?

maybe i need to tell you that the reason why i got braces was to push my teeth in cos they're a bit goofy.

I'll tell you what my friend, you will potentially be wearing braces for say a year, two or even three. but you are 25. it'll be something that you will be so glad you did! i'm 21 and i ahd mine done in august. i was a little nervous at first but then i thought...you know what i dont give a monkeys ...
