Metal Mouth Message Board

You can't even tell I'm wearing them in most pictures. I hope that helps people that are curious about that problem.

I have a Hawley on top and an Essix on bottom. It's hardly noticeable! Which is great because my NEW Fiance and I are doing our engagement announcement pictures! And I will have the biggest smile in the world. I have had the BEST month in the world got engaged and NAKED! Sorry to Brag! http://myspac...

It was quick to get them off and painless!! I was in and out in an hour! I keep licking my teeth.

I got my braces off at 9:30 on the 25th and am soooo happy!!!! I hope to be posting pictures soon!!!! I get my Hawley retainer on the 3rd!

Me Too! I get mine off on the 25th of September! SO HAPPY! The day can't come any sooner! I'm sure you feel the same way! I'm really looking forward to people thinking I'm over the age of 18 and closer to my real age!!

I wasn't told anything but not to drink on a straw afterward. no pain medication besides novacaine. I remember trying to stand up afterward and the world started to move. I was told i was supposed to eat breakfast, well no one told me. they gave me orange juice and this old nasty dentist was bringin...

I had 4 premolars extracted at the same time. It wasn't so bad...until i went into shock! Note, eat food before going in to get your extractions.

Thanks everybody!! I went in today to get a cleaning and feel so much better!!! I was told my teeth weren't too bad. So maybe it's just me!! Cause they still look icky on the bottom teeth in front, even after the cleaning Oh well 1 month left till my debanding!

I agree that it does depend on how you feel on the inside!!! I meet my wonderful boyfriend with them on and we fell in love. I later asked him if they bothered him and he replied I don't really notice them just you and you're beautiful. He's looking forward to seeing me without them and the payments...

i use colgate Total, and a crest spinbrush and a crest proheatlh mouthwash, but i'm willing to try anything. Thanks for the ideas!!!

I brush 3 plus times a day, floss daily and use mouthwash twice daily, but my teeth still look dirty!! What else can i do?! Any advice will be so helpful! i don't drink much coffee or soda. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong? My teeth have been this way since I was banded!! HELP, Please!!

I'm new, not to braces unfortuantly. I had my bottom teeth banded on October 2001 then the top on June 2002. The end is near though!!! I get them off September 25th!!! Almost 5 years, but it was so worth every second! I started with extreme crowding and a massive overbite. I looked like Dracula that...
