Metal Mouth Message Board

I am sporting my new hardware at work today and everyone loves them. I am kind of a goof ball so I have been going up to everyone and giving them my big ole grin. I even got some tlc from a lady friend of mine yestureday. In all I have no problem with the braces. This might actually improve my socia...

Good luck. I had mine put on today.

I was just kidding about the hybernation thing. These things just feel a little wierd in my mouth. Can I tell the doc that I want my wires extra extra tight? I mean I use to be in the marine corps so I am used to pain. I can't wait until friday so I can get stuff really started. I think I mentioned ...

AGH! What did I get myself into. He put the metal brackets on today. I have to come back on friday for the wires. How long before I get use to this?

I think I am gonna go to social hybernation for the next 2 years.

Any good words guy and gals?

I am scheduled to have the braces put on on 08/09/2006. From then on it should be a 18 month treatment. Which me...

P.S. I have always struggled with some confidence issues, but I am like what the heck. Got to just go for it. IF some girl doesn't like me because I have a mouth full of metal then it is her loss. Ever watch a rap video lately? All those guys have a mouth full of diamonds. They have their precious m...

Thanks guys for the quick and supportive responses. I went to two different consultations today and had one a few weeks ago. One of the orthos I went to today is currently working on two of my coworkers and has done a few others. For the record I am african american, he is Asian and he was recommend...

Just wanted to say this is an awesome site. I am 28 years old and have alwasy wanted braces, but for financial reason have not been able to. Now I have a good job and some extra income I think I am going to make the jump. I have a few consultations set up for this week. I am very encouraged with one...
