Metal Mouth Message Board

Was just wondering...do any of you who are debanded observed that after they remove the braces and polish your teeth, some of light staining got removed? My teeth look pretty white except on the very front 2 teeth, there is slight lines right under the brakets, and I was wondering if that will be po...

Thats great! Well in any case, you're almost there!

I starting to get a little nervous that they won't take it off on my d-day, but he did tell me last time everything was already looking ready, so hopefully that won't change within the new 10 days and I'll be free too!

Awesome looking teeth, breal!!

Let us know how it goes today, I can only imagine the anticipation

Memran, wow that is so interesting! Don't mean to sound excited about your problem or anything, just very interesting to see what these things look like on x-rays! I never seen mine but now I think I will ask to see them at my debanding, just for kicks :X Let us know what they decide to do, it seems...

Lola, thank you!!! And yes I want to tan so my whitened teeth look even brighter! I know what you mean too, I also started planning my debanding when I had them on for maybe a week or so, it feels almost surreal. choccyface, no no the mouth in my avator is NOT my teeth haha. I just put it up because...

I got my first one today too and YOWZA indeed do these hurt! I haven't been this sore in months, but I'm liking it, pain=movement, movement=good! :D I love your bright color I actually wish I'd go for some hot pink or something too , since I've been boring clear/white the whole time, and it's my las...

I actually just wanted to complement you on your VERY healthy looking teeth, wow I don't know if its the quality of the pictures but it looks like you never even had a filling done! Your teeth are also very white, on the insides as well which is not that common and overall look so glossy and in good...

UPDATE: THEY ARE OFF!! I LOVE ITT! MY TEETH FEEL AND LOOK FANTASTIC! Just uploaded the pictures I will post them in the naked forum check it out here http://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=24924 ------------------------------------------------------------ Time does fly! I am now starting t...

I guess I just don't understand why they can't move my front teeth 2 mm over with braces, without touching or moving the back teeth or my bite. You really can't see why? If you had big gaps between your teeth, especially on the side to which you want to shift your teeth, than maybe they would be ab...

Gorgeous!!! You and your smile! Congrats, I hope my teeth look half as white

Picturess? =]

And congrats!!

lindesd, first off, take a DEEP BREATH. Now, remember - patience is a virtue. Especially when going through an orthodontic treatment, you HAVE to be patient. First two weeks, is way too soon to be judging your treatment. Give it at least 4-6 weeks, I say. And I am 100% SURE your teeth WILL start mov...

Thanks for the picture, Meryaten. Yeah in my case the front 4 teeth will not be connecting with the bottoms, due to a wider arch on top (and no braces on bottom to make it wider). I don't mind it you can't see it when I smile and close my mouth and I think of it this way - because my front teeth won...

That you gusy for replies! My teeth are still moving and it seems as my tiny gaps all over are closing, the overjet is getting smaller. It seems to be around 2-3 mm right now and I can definitely see it have enough room to move another mm back. Hopefully I will be in the 1-2mm range than and like Me...

Drama Queen, same here! I really want to start imagining him telling me, come back in 3 weeks and we'll take them off at the next adjustment, but I am stopping myself, so I don't get all upset and dissapointed if it won't be time yet. It's just so exciting to know at least we'll be done before the s...
