Metal Mouth Message Board

Meryaten, I'm not going to argue this anymore because it's a waste of time and I respect your knowledge on this board. Yet, I will defend myself and point out that I never, ever used the wording "bad teeth." I said "less than perfect," and there a huge difference.

That's it - that's the show!!! I think came on for the first time here on BBCA though this month, maybe y'all are a little ahead of us. "chicklet-teeth obsession" HA!! Believe it or not, I understand at least a small bit, we just look at teeth different here in the U.S. But I have always a...

I only really needed help for like a day or two, but I only got the BSSO and you having much more done. I think it would probably be a good idea for you to have somebody around for a week, you may not need them, but it sure helps and you can always send them home early.

I was just wondering, did anybody here watch Britain’s Worst Teeth on BBCA Sunday night? I did and thought it was fascinating. While personally, I do not nor ever will advocate the installation of all those veneers when what the patient could really use is a couple of years of braces, most all of ...

I agree - you look great! The improvement is dramatic. I bet you will find as well the more time passes the more changes you'll see beyond this even.

Wow, you know I've always wondered what that icon for Seriously meant, now I know - thanks! Andantae you shoudl be close to 10 days out by now so I'm hoping that bruising is getting better, but you know for so much bruising your swelling really is minimal, can't wait for you to update us soon!

I agree on the suggestion that you can't really wear your Essix too much. My ortho said nights only as well - but everyone else seems to be 24/7 for at least the first couple of weeks if not the whole year. I'm paranoid because I just looked at an office mate's teeth who said she didn't like the Ess...

I brought my ortho's office a fruit platter, nothing fancy, just like one of those cut fruit platters for snacking at lunch in their breakroom. I picked it up while I waiting for my Essix retainers to be made along with a thank you card - it was nothing big but they really seemed to like it.

Brandy you wouldn't believe it - I am, as they say down here, "grinnin' like a mule eating sour grass." Your smile looks great as well! That was a cool look through the history of your smile when you posted that highschool photo on your blog! Yes, my boyfriend loves my new teeth, I don't t...

HOLY CRAP those are some good looking teeth!!! You must be estatic You were debanded same day I was - they look awesome!

Hi gals & guys! Just wanted to let you know I finally made it through. After two years and 6 days in braces, one BSSO (advanced 6-8 mm they never were quite clear on that), eight bands and a boatload of complain' on my part - I'm so there. AND IT WAS ALL WORTH IT. Or at least I think it was, at ...

CONGRATS LOU LOU!!!!!
I had to sign in just so I could scream that in all caps. Aren't you super excited? Let's see, that means you are about 83 days and a wake up away from being done.

It's different for everybody, but after 9 days I'd definitely try to start weaning off the meds, you mean like you're still taking prescription pain medicine, right? Weaning off the meds for me meant substituting my percocet with Advil and the like till I was able to go without that. Have you tried ...

Darn it, Phil, I hate that about the accupressure treatments. I was getting all excited thinking I might try it, too, but I don't know if I will or not now. Anyway, it's GREAT you've been having a pain-free time, soon the good days will outnumber the bad, and you must be feeling pretty fine to wear ...
