Metal Mouth Message Board

Welcome!! Your attitude is great, I'm sure your new teeth will be wonderful!! My brace day was March 28, so we are close!

I think they are looking great! You have a beautiful arch on the top now and I see tons of progress on the bottom...... keep your chin up skitt!

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:soremouth: It will get better!! I could only eat soft things (lived on soup, yogurt & pasta) for the first week, but on day 8 I had a burger... just had to cut up with knife & fork. It was worth it though! I'm a month in and still have to cut everything up... my front teeth aren't specifica...

Thanks everybody! :HugeGrin: However, today they are KILLIN' me! They didn't start hurting until about 10pm last nite.... then all of a sudden... BOOM! :huh: :FeelSick: I sometimes clinch my teeth at night and it woke me up 2 or 3 times with pain! I'd clinch (evidentally) and then OUCHIE :soremouth:...

Well, today was my first adjustment! :tingrin: Felt very weird, but so far so good..... I'm hoping they don't start hurting like the beginning. We'll see. :Questions: They are looking great so far, I can already see tons of movement! :dance: Also good I wanted to mention, I had clear ligs the first ...

No advice, just ((HUGS))

Congrats! They look great!!!!!!!

Congrats on the baby news!!!!!! Woooooooo!!!!!!!!

WOWZA!!!!!!!! Awesome results!! You must be thrilled!!!! Congrats!!!!

Goodbye chocolates?! Come on, it may be tough but I'm no quitter! Just let them melt in your mouth a bit first!

I had spacers for 2 weeks prior to getting brackets and they were AWFUL for me too! Took about 9 or 10 days to get used to.... just as I was able to eat 'normal' again then BAM! Braces! :lol: I'm 21 days into braces and back to normal for the most part.... still can't bite with the fronts, but I don...

Congrats!! Looking good ( ) ! Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon...... I was on soft foods for just over a week but have had no major problems since........ good luck!!!!!
