Metal Mouth Message Board

My, what white teeth you have Looks fabulous!

Have a good sleep and remember to relax. Getting them on is pretty exciting, but there is nothing for you to be nervous about! It doesn't hurt, but it does feel a little uncomfortable for a while until you get used to all the brackets being in your mouth. Tomorrow, drink lots of water, do use a lip ...

Mmm, it's pretty attractive!! :dance: Does anyone else have drooling problems when they sleep ? I never used to drool but since I have had my braces I do sometimes - especially when I am really tired! It's quite gross to wake up from a nana-nap, hair all askew and drool all down the side of my face ...

ARGH!! See!! Not too computer savy at all!!!!!! (this was the 3rd copy of this post before I edited it!!

Well I have now had them for almost 3 months (in two days time!!) and they seem like a part of my life now :D Still haven't had any major pain, just some aching occasionally so I am really pleased about that 8) I would love to put pics up - can someone talk me through it? I am not very computer savy...

I will be 24 - three months shy of 25

I agree with jt2lang - you do have to want to do it!! I was quite worried about getting them but then I realised that I will always hate my teeth (and be annoyed I didn't get them sooner) and that two years would pass anyway so why not!! I have metal braces but so many people haven't commented anywa...

I have had my braces for nearly 3 months and still no pain :D (apart from those spacers!! :yikes: ) so maybe you will be like me and can just enjoy the experience 8) Congrats for getting them on :-)o it can't have been easy for you to make that decision. As for chewing - yep, my whole mouth seems to...

Yep, they have already moved a little its fantastic!!

I agree Meryaten, she is hard to work out anyway. A bit of an attention seeker/know it all. I generally stay away from her anyway but it is hard as our horses live at the same stables so we have the same friends. So far I have just left her to dwell in her negativity but it is really starting to get...

Very late post but I got my braces on last Friday. The best bit was getting those *insert swear word here* spacers out :-)o One of them was stuck in so bad it had to be cut and pulled out... :yikes: I can still remember the pain. Getting them put on was an absolute breeze!! It feels so weird when th...

Urgh, I am having an issue at the moment with a girl I know who obviously had a bad experience with her braces. :roll: She said she had hers on for 4 years when she was a teenager so for that amount of time she must have had quite bad teeth. When I told her I was getting braces she was really negati...

Hey Marvin, I've had mine on for 6 days now and they still don't hurt! :lol: I know they are moving because I am having trouble flossing when I didn't before (and believe me, they will feel a little bruised when you press on them like I tend to do :roll: ) but no real pain :D I am sure it will come ...

BE WARNED - I AM FEELING VERY SORRY FOR MYSELF IN THIS POST!!! I was so excited about starting my journey but I have had spacers for 3 days now and I really wish the pain would go away. :roll: Sorry to everyone looking forward to getting spacers because it is the beginning - I didn't want to be the...
