Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks for telling me that KK. I was so scared to eat spaghetti and I am so glad you told me that because I was about to give up a lot of foods that I love.

I am new to the club. I got ceramic (clarity) uppers and metal lowers. Its been about 9 hours and I am only experiencing some slight discomfort. I ate from Burger King but I had to break everything in small bites. Kinda use to doing that anyway with my 1 year old daughter. My hubby says I look cute ...

Almost time to leave to go get braces and I am super nervous. Wish me luck.

Congrats on your braces. I am getting mine in 2 weeks. Yippee!!!! I just had all 4 first molars extracted 2 weeks ago. I was told to stay on a soft diet for 24 hours, but even after that it will still kinda difficult for me to eat since my gums were a little sore. Three of the four came right on out...

Congratulations on getting braces. Well, if you kids can't tell them I am glad that my daughter won't be able to tell. I wish you the best of luck on your orthodontic treatment. I am getting ceramic braces in 2 weeks.

After having these extractions 5 days ago, I am still in a bit of pain. One of my teeth was pretty hard for him to pull out and he had to use surgical tools. I guess I understand now that I should be patient. Thanks everyone.

I was told that I would be getting clear braces in the front on the top and bottom and traditional in the back. I just wanted to know if this was common and does anyone else have th...

Go see an orthodontist for a consultation. Most offer these for little to no fee. Look at what your payment options would be. I only had to put down $950 and make monthly payments. There was no credit check and 0 financing. Some orthodontists also offer financing through companies like Care Credit o...

I had my consultation back on Feb. 8 and I get my spacers on the 22nd and braces on the 29th. I know all about how you feel. I keep reading up on all this stuff and I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I wish you the best of luck and let us know how things go.

The treatment coordinator is the one that said to wait 2 weeks. The only reason why I am waiting 3 weeks is because he will be out of town the week I originally was suppose to get braces. Today when they called to reschedule my appointments, I asked why I couldn't wait a week and she said the doc wa...

My orthodontist originally wanted me to wait 2 weeks after extractions to have spacers and then the week after get my braces. Now, I have to wait 3 weeks until I get spacers. Why is it necessary to wait so long. Couldn't I just get spacers a week after extractions? Please help because I am so confus...
