Metal Mouth Message Board

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy trying to finish my thesis so I can graduate from law school. Argh. I put my 2 of 28 aligners this past Wednesday. It was tight at first, but it was pretty insignificant. My tongue has gotten use to my aligners, but I do use wax every other nig...

and sometimes i just dont eat the banana either... :wink: awww, i'm sorry :( there's always oatmeal. j/k :P I've been meaning to take pictures, but everytime I take a picture of my own teeth, I end up taking a picture of my nostrils. I'll wait 'til my fiance is around. I'll ask him to take pictures...

That's funny that you mention that KK because that's exactly what I've been telling myself. People do it all the time, I don't understand why I think it's such a big deal. After all, I don't pay attention to people when they are brushing their teeth in the bathroom. I don't think it's weird or odd. ...

Getting use to invisalign is :-/ I think I've gotten use to the invisaligns in my mouth quite well, especially since I've discovered dental wax. I don't know how long I will be using dental wax though. I think I will only use it at night when I'm sleeping. I think that's when my tongue presses on th...

Thanks, Rach. I agree 100% with what you just said, but I think my first post was a little misleading and there was a misunderstanding between me and a fellow poster. No worries, me and that poster cleared up the misunderstanding. As for my tongue, it feels better! YAY FOR WAX! For those who use wax...

Hi again. Today was Day 3 out of 365+ days. I know everyone goes through these growing pains, whether they're wearing traditional braces, linguals or in my case, invisaligns, but adjusting to braces S U C K S!!!!!!!!!! :( My front teeth hurt. I know that this is a good a hurt because it means that m...

I think bumbers are a small, square like ceramic "bump" that they attach to your teeth. I guess they're like notches for elastics. The bumpers have 2 purposes, 1 is to "lock" the invisaligns into place, giving the aligners a tighter fit, and 2 is to help put more presure on certa...

I got my Invisaligns today!! WOOHOO!!! I went to my orthodontist appointment at 10:30AM. I left at 11AM. I thought I'd spend more time at the orthodontist's office. This how the visit went: At 10:30, one of the ortho's assistant called me in. I sat down in the dental chair and she explained the whol...

i'm just testing my counter or ticker

I have an appointment this Wednesday, 4/4, to get my aligners!!! I'm so excited!!

Hahah! Thanks for putting a smile on my face. I loved the turtle too. I think turtles are making my aligners, no offense to turtles. I hope my aligners come in before I graduate from school. That's in May.

Nothing new... still waiting for my aligners to come in. The anticipation and waiting for my treatment to start is unbearable. Argh! A few more weeks (1 or 2) until I get my aligners in.

Here are my pre-invisalign pics. I should be getting my invisalign aligners in 2 weeks.

KK, With all due respect, I know you are just trying be helpful and I appreciate your thoughts and your concerns. I really do. However, it's very difficult not to be defensive when one implies that I have underlying issues that have pushed me into getting braces. I may, I may not. One thing is for c...

Thanks, everyone. Jenfire, yes, I will be taking the bar in July. I'm already nervous about that. :shock: By the way, my bf is also going into criminal defense (he wants to be a public defender). I should have mentioned this on my original post, but it's been about 2 weeks since I got my molds done....
