Metal Mouth Message Board

Yes maybe...think I will call though as you suggest (I think he just forgot to remove it to be honest! :wink: ). My couple of months on 'parole' :lol: were so great! I felt so confident - my front 6 basically looked perfect and no one can see why I have to continue treatment! But my teeth need to mo...

Hi I haven't had my bottom ones put on yet - not looking forward to that really as I imagine your mouth feels really crowded! Anyway - I also imagine that just like when you had your uppers fitted, they felt really big and odd in your mouth but you do get used to them eventually. Re: the cement on y...

Hi everyone I have just had my upper braces put back on - I had them temporarily removed for my wedding and honeymoon back in November :D Whilst the braces were off, my ortho attached a bonded retainer behind my teeth so they wouldn't move.

:P Have posted already on the main board, but found this bracket club bit! Hooray! I am 5 weeks in to my treatment - have found it to be OK. My partner is very supportive when I feel down about them. Fingers crossed I'll get good results in the next 4 moths as I get married on 4th November!!! I am h...

I think this must be what I have! I posted above about blocks on my teeth - didn't realise these are called 'bite turbos'. They caused me a bit of discomfort for the first couple of days (much like the braces) but you do get used to them. The first night I had them I wanted to rip them out and they ...

Hi everyone! I am new here, so I'll introduce myself first! I have had my ceramic braces on for 5 weeks now and doing OK - although I wish I'd found this forum earlier! Am scared now of having the ceramics taken off - can anyone reassure me that it's not that bad??? Anyway, my story is that I have a...
