Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks Everyone, iBorg I found a product called Superfloss by Oral-B and so far this is easy for me to use. Hopefully, I will be able to continue using this once the mouth tenderness comes. Right now, it feels weird eating and I am not really sure about what I can eat. Can we eat soft pizza? Can we ...

Yep, I have fully joined the braced club. I went in this morning at 9 a.m. and was out at 10:45 a.m. The lip strecther is weird. Everything went really well. My Ortho decided not use the upper palate expander. He says he believe my arch wire will get the job done. I have clear bands. They gave the d...

Thanks Everyone,

It is 5:00 a.m. here and I am already up. I am so excited like a little child on Xmas day. lol

I will get these posts as a guide for me, b/c I am sure I will need to refer back to them. I can not wait to share my braces experience with you all !!!

I just got mine on Monday and the best advice I can give is relax! Just go in there and relax while the docs do their thing. And love your braced smile, it is great! Also, as has already been said, make sure you take a potty break before your appointment and make sure that you are well hydrated bef...

Sound like the lip balm is very important. I will have to make sure I get a good one; I hate having dry lips.

Samantha, I noticed you said you are newly braced as of today. Can you share your experience with me? Is your mouth sore? Does your mouth feel weird?

Thanks, I had one consult. I was referred to my Ortho he been in the business for over 20 years. He is an old guy, but I like it that way bc he is experienced. I have heard a lot of great things about him.

Hello,

The time has finally arrived for me to get braces. First thing tomorrow morning, I will get my braces . I am so excited. This is the only Xmas gift that I want. Is there any advice that you guys can give me for tomorrow?

Thanks,

Rachael

Eat a good meal before getting your extractions. Afterward you may not feel up to eating due to your mouth being sore. Just get plenty of rest you will need it.

Well at least you get to wait until after your portraits. I just got a call for my Ortho office to confirm that I will be there tomorrow. I am ready, I just hope I can eat on Xmas. Keep in touch.

Why are you having to wait? Sorry to hear that, but at least your mouth will not be achy on Xmas day. You will be able to enjoy your Xmas feast. I will let you know how it goes.

Good luck with everything; I know you must be overly joyed .

Congrats to you!!! I am sure you were tired of that soft diet.

It does seem weird having to losing perfectly fine teeth, but my ortho opted for mine to be removed due to their causing crowdiness and a couple were impacted and growing in at an angle. I miss them but I am glad that they were removed now than later; luckily, I was not experiencing any discomfort w...

Congrats you look great!!! I hope my treatment is this good.

Hello, We are getting braced on the same day (:). Maybe we can share our experience with each other. I am also 25 yrs. old. I am very excited. It has been really hard for me to be patience. lol I first saw my Ortho in Sept. and ended up having to have four wisdom teeth pulled. I will have metal on t...
