Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks. I was really worried last night and this morning at least the pain is tolerable. I'm still very sore. I'm pregnant, so Ibuprofin is out, but I know some painkillers are acceptable. Now it feels like half my mouth is in pain. Ugh, and tommorow is Thanksgiving

I just got braced yesterday morning and at first I had no pain at all. Well, last night the pain started and it feels like someone hit me with a baseball bat right in the mouth. I'm so sore and I'm taking tylenol, but it doesn't seem like it's working. Is this normal? Please tell me this will go awa...

It's so hard to eat anything. I just ate vegetable soup with soft vegetables and the vegetables got all up in my braces. It's almost too much work to eat.. LOL..

I got my braces put on today! They feel so awkward and huge! Also, I am freaking out about eating anything.

As the day goes on, I'm getting SO nervous about getting it done. I'm 2 months pregnant and am sure to look lovely when I get bigger. LOL. I'm getting clear on the top and metal on the bottom.

Hi, I'm Cristie and I'm getting my braces at 8am tommorow, I'm excited and nervous. I'm wondering how hard it's going to be for me to eat on Thanksgiving and what kind of problems I'm going to have.
