Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks =]

Although, I wanted to cry when I wasn't given any colour. I miss my mouth not looking like a tube of smarties =[ lol

I can't wait to see my gaps close as I'm really self conscious about them.

I've been in braces for abut 2 and a half years now (I had a "resting period" where nothing was done with them for about a year). I went to get my adjustment today and was fitted with powerchains(which may I add are absolute agony at the moment lol, just as a usual tightening is for me). M...

Thanks so much for the replies :D I am quite lucky in the fact that my ortho and I get on great and I actually love going to the ortho. I don;t know why I used to be so scared lol, and he wasn't even angry that I hadn't been for so long, so that reassured me. I'll bring it up at my next adjustment. ...

Thank you so much for the reply =]

This question has probably been answered somewhere on the site but I couldn't find it, so I apologise if this is repetitive lol I have noticed that I am starting to get a small gap between my two front teeth. I wear train tracks. How will this be corrected? I'm already self conscious about my looks,...

I'm confused. I got told by my ortho not to floss I have been told this too!! My ortho said 'you can't floss whilst in braces' didn't give a reason though, i assume it's just because the wire is in the way. Although everyone on here seems to manage ok. I think I'll mention it at my next appointment...

Heya all Not sure if you remember me but I was meant to have my braces off yesterday (April 10th) as I hadn't had anything done with them for over a year and my Ortho had discharged me. Well, I went and Polly(the absolurely loves dental nurse lol) said that treatment may be able to carry on where it...

Thanks everyone for replying.

I'm still really nervous but I'm sure I'll be fine.
I'm not sure if I should make a new thread for this or not but I have another question. Has anyone else had an experience where their teeth are more sensitive after getting braces?
