Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey AVFC_UK I have had my braces on for just under two weeks now. On my third day i posted a furum about being "sick of Soup". Everyone that replyed to me ensured me that i would be able to eat semi hard food in due course. Last weekend i tried to eat a Mcdonalds but i could only eat the b...

I have only had my braces on about 5 days, and i have to brush my teeth after everything i have to eat. Yesterday i bought a little travel toothbrush, a tiny little tube of toothpaste and a little bottle of mouthwash. i will take it every where with me as i hate the feeling of a dirty mouth.

I have been looking around on the forums, and have noticed that quite a few people have got access to their photos from their Ortho. I was wondering if every body can get access to their photos from their treatment or is it part of the treatment? If many orthos do this, at what stage do they? Also w...

Ah good luck mizzdee! I got braced on tuesday top and bottom metals. I was really nervous and scared, when i got there i was shaking pretty badly for some reason, i was told to take deep breaths. any way i got it done and i do not know why i was soo scaired! It was painless, it was a breeze. I think...

Hey MuleNag, I got braced top and bottom yesterday. My appointment was at 1.50pm and i was home by 3pm. That included getting my front teeth reshaped and the talk about how to take care of my braces too. I think the actual time putting them on was about 35 - 45 mins (not too sure as i almost fell as...

GOOD LUCK Gennel! and GOOD LUCK also too your Daughter!

I'll be thinking off you both, it will be a breeze in the Park

Let us know how it went

Hey Gennel, I have been teased alot due to my teeth. It has mainly been with my front teeth. They were Big and triangular in shape and slightly inverted, so i was the subject of "playground bullying". I used to be called big teeth and goofy, which really hurt inside. I have now grown to be...

Cheers guys. Yes as i am only 17 i am getting it done on the NHS, at a local Doctors which also houses a Otho. I am not soo much worried about the time that i have to wait between now and my first adjustment, (come on i have waited over 5 years to get them on :shock:). however, i was just enquiring ...

Here is the thing. i have been looking around on the forums and have realised that people only seem to have to wait between 4 - 6 weeks to get their braces adjusted. I have to wait almost 9 weeks to get my first adjustment, I don't know why, but i was wondering if anybody else has had to wait that l...

OMG i have just got back from the Otho, and i finally got my braces on!! OMG i am soo excited.... 5 years i have been waiting for them : :tingrin: I can't believe it. They are not hurting at all at the moment, but i am expecting acheyness tonight, but i can't believe i have them on. Both top and bot...

Well thankfully I dont like Curry or drink a lot of caffiene, so hopefully staining will not be too much of a problem for me :lol: I have now got three days to go +\+ and i am getting a bit nervous. In fact i am getting a bit anxious :lol: Been waiting for this day for over 5years!! :shock: I think ...

yeah so far they seem to be going ok, had a little problem earler, you must have have realised by now that when it's time to eat, (quite disgusting as it might sound :lol:), it kinda gets mushed in to them, well as you do, you try to hook it out with your tounge but i kinda tugged on one of them and...

Also thanks too KK, the website http://www.bracesonline.com...

my ortho said to me not to worrie if mine fall out, he also told me not to pick at them lol. I dont think they will mind about them falling out beause after all they are only plastic. I wouldn't worrie about it for the moment but when they open back up on wednesday just phone them up just in case th...
