Metal Mouth Message Board

I hav'nt heard about this either. Maybe its just those four front teeth that needed more retention like you suggested.

I am guessing that is the reason as well. It's weird, I notice braces more now then I ever did before.

Before getting them I didn't pay any attention to them.

KK and Meryaten, I called the ortho's office and I have decided that I made a good decision to get my braces done there. They use the Clarity ceramics and not one of their patients has had any staining of the brackets. But, they tell everyone that there is a "very very slight possibility"...

I saw a girl tonight maybe 18-19 and she had braces on her top teeth in a way I have never seen before. She had clear ceramic brackets on her front 4 teeth but a full wire like you find on normal braces (I am guessing hooking into a band or bracket in the back on each side). I have never seen this b...

She told me, though, that the clear brackets can also stain. That's kinda scary Jozie , as the modern ceramics don't stain. I think some of the much older type of plastics did ... but I don't think they're manufactured any more. It seems I am not the only one being told that the ceramic brackets ca...

Hello Jozie,

As someone who got braces not long ago and also needs them a short time I will tell you it will be ok.

Keep a lot of lip gloss or chapstick around for your lips though

Yeah silly me I typed 27 years and what I meant is 27 months!!
Anyways, I really hope I can be done in 13-14 months but I don't know.

Well I hope you won't need 27 years of braces!

I recommend you do some research about the quality of ceramic brackets Samantha ... plus if you want to check my pics ... I've had ceramic brackets for 23 months and I eat staining curry with haldi (tumeric) powder, at least three times a week ... compare my day one with my latest pics ... not a ch...

That's insane! Sold out already? I would have bought one just to have, not to wear. I think wearing the braces in my mouth is enough advertisement for taking care of teeth.

It's your fault Ms. Smiley.

If you hadn't pointed it out maybe they wouldn't be sold out! (Kidding)

A while back the board was spammed and then we've had problems with the codes ... but only for 'quote' ... not sure why ... but Lynn hasn't been able to get it fixed. So if you want to use 'quote' on this board, you have to either do it manually ... copy and paste, or use quote, then remove the add...

Hello! I finally got my bite issues worked out. After 3 appointments in 1 week ... the ortho finally just filed down my bottom canine ( it was causing the problem). If everything "sets" well I'm still on for my braces to be removed in August! :) Here are pictures - what do you think?! The...

Ceramic brackets don't stain Samantha.

The ligs are the same as those used for all brackets with ligs ... and light colours often do stain.

Funny Karen because I have heard different. Not sure what to believe anymore.

Hahaha, I was thinking about ordering one when I just happened to come across it randomly.

I think it's cute, not sure it is something that I could wear though.

It's cool though

Samantha ... when quoting ... remove all info except the word quote from between the [ ] ... then the quote will appear as it should in your reply. :banana: The funny thing is the way it was being quoted was the way the forum software was doing it. I dont know why it was doing it wrong. I will just...

I'm glad you caught this person and figured it out. I don't understand.....what can you possibly get out of it if you come on and post your own braces story? What are they looking for.......replies? Some people have way too much time on their hands. I am guessing that it is someone who craves atten...
