Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey Josephine and Clo just wanted to say how awesome you are and how I admire you such a lot. I know my treatments pretty drastic but I have every hope to be done in a year, maybe 2 if its still slow, but to be your ages and in work like you are makes me really respect you. My mom was vey impressed ...

Hey Clo nice to read your post and wow do I admire you. I mean I'm 17 and still in school, and my bfriend and family are so supportive and it really helps sooooo much, but to be an adult in a job and try with hg is awesome !!!!! I do get in average of at least 23 hours a day - my fiance makes sure t...

Hey Seesa in Braces, Hi and Hello, I'm Sharrsharrsheesheiya. 17 and got braces, hg , the lot, but my bfriend Simon is soooooo supportive and ever-so-caring. He does real nice things like arrange pillows and sleeping to make it more comfy for me, and instead of being put off by kissing my 'metal-mout...

Hey Josephine thx for the lovely words and so pleased we made contact-I wrote again to the Braces Story thread too. My bfriend Simon is sooooo nice and supportive and it does make life a lot sweeter. I've a little girl who'll be a year old next month and I'm so looking forward to the time when I can...

Hey there Josephine, great to hear from you cos since I first got here a few days ago I was so hoping we'd somehow be in contact. Thx for the compliments but really it was more a case of needs- if I hadn't taken the plunge and gone full-time wearing my headgear I guess I might be looking at a whole ...

Wow 'InHeadgear' this is so similar to my life , I'm now 17 and in Sixth Form wearing Combination Headgear virtually 24/7, at least 23 hours every day. I first got this headgear over 2 years ago after the elastic bands only made minimal movement for my big overbite but to begin with my ortho asked f...

Hey so many people I can relate to - WOW. ScottishGirl your bfriend sounds so much like mine, and I know I would be in despair over all this but for Simon's suport and his great ideas about how to get round probs caused by my headgear mostly. I found school teachers were mostly fine and my old form ...

Wow this is so amazing finding this site and you folks that I can relate to, its really great. I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant again and pleased so my little Shaquarrianne-Amy can have a bro/sis soon. I guess the kids just accept things as they are cos they know no different and that's probably how it'...

Hey thanx for responding to my little note--Joe you are some kinda hero at your age and is it with grandkids?WOW Josephine I just found your piece in Braces Stories and sent a post to encourage--hope it does that anyways?

Hey there Josephine ,hello and thx for your nice words to me and here I've just discovered this section of the site and WOW you and I have soo much in common. I've got the big overbite prob and was in elastics with my braces but since the headgear I feel like so much more has been achieved--I was 15...

Hello there I'm new and just finding my way here but one thing especially I already noticed is quite a few here are mom's, well I am too and my little girl will be one year old in August. She's never seen me without my braces and I'm in headgear too though it comes off for hairwashing and a few othe...

Hey I'm in elastics too helping with retracting my top teeth, and had them for 3 and half years now, started with just 2 on each side then 3, from upper cannine,second pre-molar and first molar back down to lower 2nd premolar,first molar and second molar. Was very weird for a week or two till I got ...

Hello all I'm new here but been in braces for 6 years now and headgear since start of 2004. It was so weird at first cos I was only girl in my school like that and I felt like a freak. My orthodontist was really supportive and timed my adjustments so I met up with another two girls in headgear and t...

Hey what a lovely positive topic !! Great reading and sharing my feelings of concern, and the smiling and eating stuff is something I long for, but two things will be my best experiences once this long old treatment haul is over--kissing my boyfriend without the metal wires and facebow coming betwee...
