Metal Mouth Message Board

thanks for the website! that's really cool... but I've been wondering how you guys floss the backteeth? is it even possible with the metal bands around them? I can manage to handle the front teeth (6 of them), but can't seem to be able to get to the molars with the threader!

mine too... first did all fillings needed, and regular cleaning. then gum evaluation by a specialist, deep cleaning... cost 1/3 of my braces money but it's worth it (I hope)

I've been living on pumpkin soup since the extraction... does this qualify for veggie? my problem is I can't bite well, the bands around the molars were very hard to put on because of the "wild shape" of my teeth, so that's the best my ortho could do. I feel biting on metal. don't know if ...

Hey... I got my braces today too! funny you mentioned "mouth is huge" - that's exactly how I feel. my treatment is estimated at 24-30 months, so you've got company...
