Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey guys. I'm back after 3 years. I went to another orthodontist in my new town that I moved to. He told me that we could try with just braces and see where it goes. I am going for the records in a couple of weeks so I won't know for sure what all he recommends for my treatment plan but he did say i...

I just got done reading your story BR... I also have a narrow upper arch but I am not going to get surgery for it. I am going in a couple of weeks to get records and have the doctors tell me if it's possible to get braces without surgery. The doctor told me it was but I won't know the details til th...

I am back again after 3 years. I decided not to worry about the jaw surgery. I decided life is too short to worry about how my teeth are. If I can't afford surgery then there's not I can do about that. I went to an allergist about my breathing problems and it turns out it's due to allergies, not sle...

Yeah. If in the future I can't afford that surgery I'm going to have to say no to it. I've only gotten one consult. I need to get more. But right now i think I am going to forget about. I graduate college in about a year so i can worry about it then. I've heard that surgery costs a bunch and I the r...

Hey there. My name is Courtney and I've come a very long way in the past couple of years. I used to not care about the way I cared for my teeth and in turn I ended up with horrible cavities on my front teeth that were really embarassing. I decided in my sophmore year of college to start fixing my te...

Your teeth don't look as bad as mine. My top arch is so bad that it forms a V instead of a U and I have to have Jaw surgery. My bottom arch is okay though so that's something to be thankful for. I'm glad that you are deciding to go on this journey of braces. I can't afford it until I get insurance e...

Hey... Your teeth are coming along great ... I also have hidden laterals. You can only see half of each one. It's really inspiring to see other people's teeth changing so much. I can't wait until I get braces.

I think i am more than likely going to go with the jaw surgery. I saw how well it worked with Brandy's upper arch and all.

I have a narrow upper arch as well and the orthodontist told me I would need jaw surgery. What are damons? I wonder if they are effective.

I'm glad you got a date I bet you can't wait to get those braces on so you get it overwith

I will probably do that. It's only 1 year up to 2 years until I can get a fulltime job with insurance so it's not that long. Thanks for the information. I can't wait to get all this stuff started. But I'll enjoy painlessness for now while I can because I know it's going to be hard when I do get all ...

I have a very small mouth, especially the roof of my mouth. I recently went to the orthodontist to get a free consultation and to my horror the doctor said I have to get jaw surgery plus 3 years in braces. I am not sure what kind of surgery I have to get but I was reading Brandy's blog about her SAR...
