Metal Mouth Message Board

July 21st for me! You can join the club, too! Mine still REALLY hurt and I need to go in tomorrow to get my upper wire clipped...

Thank you all for your concern over my pain level, it's pretty up there but I think I will just grin and bare it! My teeth look straight from the front but are like /\/\/\ when you look at them from above or below, three years of braces, if that's any indication for ya! And, if you look close in the...

The July & August Braces Moaning Enterprise...

See, I expected everyone to have a story, I think that just goes along with braces. But to be light-hearted, I'm learning to laugh at it. My other story occurred the other morning. I had just put mouthwash in my mouth when I realized one of my wires in the back corner was poking into my cheek and s...

Congratulations on being pregnant! Are you going to find out if its a boy or a girl before birth?

What moutwash were you using, just curious.

Well, I just got braces yesterday and also bought a SonicCare toothbrush as I was told this was a very brace-friendly toothbrush to use. So, here I am in my bathroom with my new toothbrush, my prevident tooth paste and my silly metal filled mouth. All was well for the first two minutes and the tooth...
