Metal Mouth Message Board

Nahky, today I thought about you and your story and I checked the time in Australia on my cell phone... it's 16 hours ahead of my time.

I just thought that was cool.

Okay, so i got my braces off on January 19th. It was pretty fun! Didn't hurt at all. When my orthodontist polished the glue off my teeth it was super uncomfortable but it didn't last too long. "La Bamba" was playing on the stereo at the office, and the polishing only took about as long as ...

Aw, you guys are so nice and encouraging. thanks!

I'm supposed to get my braces off in one month. I've had them for a year and 8 months so far. Not bad, right? Ordinarily i'd be insanely happy. But my best friend, who's had hers for 8 months, is going to get hers off next month, too. Tell me the fairness in that!!! She might even get them off befor...

But...

hey you guys, thanks for your input... it was very entertaining.
i guess it was like an informal survey of elastic names. now we have an amazing array of them.

today i went to the orthodontist and i don't have to wear my unicorns anymore... ah well. maybe later i'll get them back!

I have these elastics that say "unicorn" on the bag. i remember my sister had "ostrich" elastics with a pic of an ostrich on the bag (we used them for hairbands after she got her braces off...hehe) and i remember my friend had elastics called "bear" with a drawing of a ...

Hi everbody! I've been coming to this site for a long time and i don't really know why i registered today in particular... anyway, I've had all-metal braces for about six months. I had really wanted braces for about two years but i didn't need them, except one of my canines was impacted. My parents ...
