Metal Mouth Message Board

okay I'm a little freaked out. Have had braces for over a year and now my four upper front teeth are slightly but noticeably wiggly. Has this happened to anyone else and will it correct itself. I have a spring on my right upper side to pull a tooth down and in place. Thanks for your answers.

I had my braces put on March 6th 2007 at age 46 it has been a month and a half already. I am totally use to them now. Although as my teeth shift my speech gets a bit slurry. Eating is not painful anymore, I still cut things up. But I say go for it and good luck. I need upper and lower surgery. Won't...

That describes me and my diet. I got by braces on Tuesday Yippee. But I can't seem to get my lips to feel normal. They feel dry and shrivelled. I did buy lip balm but it isn't helping. Breakfast is mashed banana and yogurt..mmm good :( I am glad I love soup. All in all things are going quite well. T...

four hours ago and I am 46. I am soo happy and proud of myself, after taking care of everyone else for so long. I say go for it. Put yourself first!!

Wow now that I found this site I am amazed to realize that others have been doing the same thing. I truly thought I was the only one who perfected the art of not showing her teeth. People have actually said "I didn't know you had teeth problems". I would think ,if you only knew!! Good Luck...

I waited all these years since first seeing an ortho at age 20 to finally do something for me. I promised my children they will have their t...

of food until B-Day which is Tuesday.Food takes on a new meaning when you know you can't be as "carefree". I even had a donut, which I never eat. Going to Toronto this weekend for a big work function, yes I will enjoy the food each little bite. I hope B-Day is painfree..mind over matter .....

You will be brave and come thru this with flying colours. I am a fellow Canadian. Just joined as I'm getting braces on the 6th Mar. after waiting 46 years. Do this now for yourself.My 17 yr old son has fangs and as soon as I can he will be getting his teeth fixed. Good luck I'll watching to see how ...

I cannot believe the info on this site. It is so cool seeing where people live.I never imagined so many adults were getting ortho work done. This is a crazy week for me, I am getting my impressions done on Thurs.and trying to buy a business at the same time, and run my existing business as well. I g...
