Metal Mouth Message Board

I think my teeth have been moving more at night when I'm sleeping. When I wake up in the morning I go to the mirror and check my teeth first thing. They usually look and feel like they moved a little during the night.

Eaglesoaring, I feel the same way. It has only been 2 1/2 weeks for me, and I haven't had any pain either. I am having a hard time smiling and talking too. It's different when I go out in public. When I'm just at home talking to my son or talking on the phone, I seem to talk pretty normal. But when ...

Lisa65, I have a bite turbo on the back of one of my bottom teeth. It is very weird not being able to close my teeth all the way. I can't chew, so I have been eating very soft foods for the last 2 weeks. My bite turbo is metal. I don't know if they all are made of metal, but mine gets in my way when...

I got my braces on the 15th, but I can't bite down all the way, so I don't know if my teeth are squishy or not...lol. I'm still waiting for my right front tooth to move out over my bottom teeth so I can get this bite turbo off and start chewing again!

Stephanie

Thanks KK! I am going to stop taking pictures every day...lol. The only thing that I am really impatient about is getting this bite turbo thing off. It is absolutely driving me crazy! It gets in the way when I eat and talk. It is giving me a lisp...lol. I just want to get it off before my husband co...

Thanks guys. I have noticed that it is a lot easier to floss now then it was the first day with braces. There is more room between some of my teeth for the floss. Ok Kimber, I'm visualizing movement! =) nvcarissa, I have been taking pictures every day...lol. Sadly nothing has changed yet. I know, I ...

When are my teeth going to start moving? It has been 8 days and my teeth have not moved at all. I need my top front teeth to come out over my bottom front teeth so I can get this stupid bite turbo thing off the back of my bottom tooth. (The ortho called it a bite turbo). I am getting so frustrated b...

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

Stephanie

Eagle, you are so lucky you are able to eat those things at least! I have been eating grits, pudding, applesause, etc. Anything that doesn't have to be chewed. I hope my teeth move quickly! need to be able to chew again!!!
Thanks Pirate Wench and KK for the congrats!

Stephanie

Congratulations Gottaplaygamz!! Hope everything goes well!

Stephanie

Congrats Pirate Wench! I'm glad you're not having any pain. I haven't had any either. My only problem is that I can't chew until she takes this thing off the back of my bottom tooth. Hopefully My front teeth will have moved enough over the weekend that I can get this thing removed! It will be a coup...

Thanks bracedagain and Gottaplaygamz! Good luck tomorrow Gottaplaygamz!

I got my braces this morning. I posted my story and pics in "Our Braces Stories"

Stephanie

Ok, I did it! I had my braces put on my top teeth about an hour ago. I was so nervous! I couldn't stop shaking! It wasn't that bad. Nothing they did hurt me in any way. I didn't really taste any of that sour stuff that they use. So it went pretty well. I chose the pearl colored ligs. I don't want to...

Thank you all for your encouraging words! I am so glad I found this site!
