Metal Mouth Message Board

I am so MAD I could scream for hours! :evil: :x :evil: I would like to warn the archwired community to stay away from *too good to be true* type of promises. It's been ONE YEAR since I've been braced and I'm STILL BRACED. I know many of you are like, well that's normal, but I paid a premium for six ...

Hello everyone! Here's my update. At my adjustment yesterday, I got good news and bad news... well not that bad. First the good news. Actually GREAT news... BYE BYE OSTRICHES!!!! :) The not so good news is that i have to wear two elastics full time on each side to straighten up my midline and I'm go...

Gem- :shock: that was my expression when I saw your elastics... I would give you a gold plaque for wearing that "Ostrich" config. Bravo!!! I'd be too confused to wear it correctly. It does take some getting used to, but with practice, its not that bad getting them on... it just hurts to w...

I am new to the archwired community and just read your entire story. How interesting. Even if the six month braces are 10 month braces the results will be worth it. You will be flashing your hollywood smile while I'm still wearing metal artwork. I must admit that when I saw your elastic configurati...

Thank you KK!! I'll have a talk with my teeth everyday until they cooperate.

Ok, so from a treatment time of six to nine months, I will be heading towards a treatment time of 9 1/2 to 10 1/2 months. It's not the docs fault. it's not my fault. It's just that my teeth are not wanting to be corrected. My teeth flared up and as I stated in an earlier entry, I had to wear the nig...

Hi all! I haven't been around in awhile and I don't have any new pics but I wanted to stop by and fill you all in on my braces story. I am still wearing the ostriches at night and my open bite is doing MUCH better. However, it is taking longer to close than expected so my six month braces may become...

OOPS posted twice!

Below you will find the new pics as promised. The ostrich is definitely a painful experience. The first night I woke up from a deep sleep in agony and took it out of mouth. (for an explanation of the Ostrich, Look at my earlier post). I also need to get my teeth cleaned ASAP since the braces have ma...

I had such an adventure today at my adjustment. I'm half way there - three months down, three to go! First, :-1 I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. My holiday was filled with drinking plenty of red wine with family and friends (TIP: This is never a good idea when wearing clear ligs). I got to t...

Hey everyone! I got my second adjustment today. I got a springy thingy in my mouth and a new top wire. I also got some great news that my x-bite is starting to go away and that my treatment is on schedule for six months!!! Here are my progress pics: 2nd Adjustment http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c...

Just stopping by to see how you are doing with the extractions. Hope you're feeling better!

Oh and HEY HEY HEY! - I liked the Lake House

Thank you all for your advice! I got all my questions answered, I got some free stuff and I got a second of wire freedom!

I posted some pics of my progress on my braced story/bloggy thingy here (click on the www below).

CONGRATULATIONS on your new braces! I tried to show everyone but pretty much everyone seemed really unconcerned. Nobody said anything negative. Which was really a surprise. That's how I felt when I got mine. For five minutes everyone was interested and then that was it. Occasionally I'll get someone...
