Metal Mouth Message Board

Well ive decided to go tomorrow and get my new pink ligs! i can now breathe through my nose and i think its starting to clear up (fingers crossed!) Whats soooo annoying is that there is nothing that can really help you through flu except rest, i am soo bored of my bedroom right now i thought it wasn...

Hi Well i haven't complained about the whole braces journey until now, i have had flu for the last 5 days and the braces make it so much worse! Everytime i sneeze i bite down which kills because my uppers hit my lowers. My mouth is constantly dry eventhough im drinking sooo much. Throwing up in brac...

Braced again,

vaseline comes in a little tub, its not too big but you have to put it on with your finger which can be a little messy, i recomend not licking your finger afterwards as it doesnt taste great lol but it does definately last longer than chapstick!

Im also meant to have this done ( i think at the next appointment) Im a bit scared about it because my ortho commented on how my bottom teeth are quite small, and now she is planning to shave them down to make space. but why do it to teeth that are already small?? are my teeth not going to look frea...

Hey I was wondering if anyone gets any pain if there sonic toothbrush hits there brackets. I find i have to brush really carefully because if i hit one it makes the tooth feel really sensitive and vibrates my whole mouth :? Though im not knocking my sonic i love it makes my mouth feel soo clean Amy x

I love my vaseline as well! couldn't live without it, lasts way longer than chapstick.

Hope every1 is well

Hi I had my metal mouth installed a week ago. And yesterday it was my best friends wedding ( i was the maid of honour). I was kind of scared about talking with them in but then it ended up i didn't have to make a speech *phew* :D When it came to taking the photos the brides mother made a joke (but y...

i was messing around with my webcam so i thought i would post some pics (quite bad it doesnt even pick up on my purple elastics!) but it gives u an idea of what im dealing with. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/3759/1vx3.jpg http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/5299/2me7.jpg I will take some better ...

Hey Well i finally got braced on sat. I had my last dinner of corn and ribs and ate loads of apples! lol. It went ok, i chose to have metal brackets and purple elastics. It only took half and hour to put my upper and lower brackets on which i thought was excellent. It was soo weird when she took the...

she said that she would have to remove the brackets because the procedure is happening on the 4 main teeth she is moving on my bottom. and because the shaving is happening at the sides not at the top, she won't be able to gain access with the brackets on. Im hoping she wont, because i want to spend ...

ewww i hate diet, i cant get it down lol hopefully getting braced will cut down my habit down, maybe to only 1 litre a day, and im hoping i will stop biting my nails as well! i didnt think that drinking that much coke was hurting my teeth, i thought i was doing well because i only just had my first ...

do they use local anistetic (cant spell lol) or do they just go a head and start shaving away?

I have to have 4 teeth shaved down 6 weeks after having my braces on so it means they have to take them off and put them on again, such a long process!!

Hey i was wondering when you have braces on do you have to totally illuminate fizzy drinks from your diet?? because i drink 2 litres of coke a day, and i dont think i will be able to live with out my fizzy friend for a year LOL ive heard some horror stories like the braces rust? or the brackets fal...
