Metal Mouth Message Board

I have to point out to people that i've got a brace on (ceramic) i was getting a bit gutted that no one noticed!!!! I was so nervous about it being visible but now i'm gagging to get my lower (metal) on, having braces is great and boosted my confidence loads!! You come to realise that no one cares!!...

Metal ties!!!!! Fantastic...i had a curry last night and oh how did i enjoy it!

My first adjstment went well...my ortho asked if i had any pain and i said 'none at all' how premature was i in saying that!!! The pain came the next day and had my first cut cheek....eek But i'm over it now!

Go for it!!!! Good luck

I can't get to grips with the search thingy!! So sorry if this has been asked! On my first adjustment i'm getting metal ties! What are they and do they not stain??? I've been sooo good but my ceramics don't look brand new anymore (even though they look the same in pictures and everyone tells me they...

Hi everyone, i've had my brace on now for nearly a month. Since i have had my brace put on i've been having the shakes, feeling nauseous, light headed and a feeling of being spaced out!!!!! I had a small black out which caused me to fall badly and yesterday i nearly passed out!!! I'm seeing my docto...

Hi ya, thank for the replys. I'll think i'll leave it till my first adjustment and see what my ortho says. Hazybraceface - I think everyone is different regarding pain. To be totally honest i've had no pain at all. I know there is pressure but there hasn't been any discomfort. I expect this to come ...

Anyone had this??? I've been in braces ten days and i've still got a blue dot on the front ceramic!!!! I got told it would come off during the first brushing sesh, i've brushed soooo many times and it seems to be wedged under the bracket!!!! Anyway i rang the ortho and they said give it another week...

Hi Matty, just read your reply in my post. Congrats on your b day. How long you going to be in braces for? Your braces looks really good, i love the pink. I agree with you about the routine. It's a pain in the as*. I do the lengthy routine in the morning and at night and just brush and swish with wa...

Hi Everyone I thought I’d share my story with everyone so anyone thinking of having braces (like I was) can get some info (like I did reading loads of braces stories). Pictures will follow as soon as I figure out how to get them online. Anyway my story started around ten years ago. I was told I n...

even with ceramics?

thankyou for replying

Hi all, i'm finally braced. It was so quick and easy (for me anyway) If your about to get braced or thinking about it, the process is easy. I expected to be in a bit of discomfort but it was fine. The only thing i'm not sure about is when can i eat some solids? I'm really hungrey. I forgot to ask my...

Laieniel - Hi, well they are on different teeth and they are there then the next day or week or so they can go and can be somewhere else. Sometimes i don't have any!!! It's really weird. I guess my dentist not being worried must have meant they couldn't be causing me any harm. Hope so. I hope it has...

Thanks Kiwi. I doubt i'll get into my docs before tues. It useually takes about a week for an app unless it's an emergency. I'll chat to my ortho when i go to get braced and see what he says. My mouth ulcers are starting to heal. Probs due to rinsteads and salt water rinses. Well they don't hurt as ...

Hi, i was going to put this in another post of mine but if wasn't really connected anyway: when I went for my pre brace cleaning with my dentist the other day I asked her what the white blobby spot type things are on a couple of my front teeth.....she didn't know! She said my teeth are well looked a...
