Metal Mouth Message Board

Well, the day came and went. I now have braces (again!). I was told "probably" Inspire ICE is the brand but now that I look at them, they don't match the brackets on the website. I will get some pics together when I have a chance. I am having headaches on and off, taking advil, and my teet...

Thanks to all of you with your kind words... I am sitting here at work waiting for my 1pm appointment - And I'm feeling like "let's get this over with already!"... I will post an update afterwards.

Thanks again!!!

Thanks again! <---my last naked smile for a while

haha - yes I guess it will have that same new car feeling. Well, that makes me feel better - thank you. I'm sure I will post something tomorrow after getting braced!

I am getting braces tomorrow and I am so nervous. I usually don't mind any dental work - in fact people think I am crazy for looking forward to a dental visit. The thing is is that I am 31, live in Los Angeles (so right there I will probably stick out) and this will be my 2nd time with braces. I cou...

sorry about the double post

31, F, Los Angeles, have spacers in right now as I type and want to rip them out like you don't believe! Getting full upper and lower clear braces on Thursday for the 2nd time - the first time was when I was 10 yrs old and got lower metal, upper clear, for 4 long years! I developed a crossbite over ...

Thanks Dr. S... Hopefully I won't be in that situation. I was just wondering if orthos taking over treatment was out of the question.

Hi all, I am getting braces this week. I live in Los Angeles but am from NY. I am thinking of moving back to NY within the next 12 - 16 months. My treatment time for braces is estimated 6-10 months. I was just thinking up of the scenario ... what if I need to move back to NY in the middle of my trea...

Thanks Granola... I feel better about this.

Well, I am due to get braces next Thursday and I was told that the brand they will "probably" use is www.iceclearbraces.com . The girl told me probably because they might be getting a new brand before then (who knows). Has anyone had any experiences good or bad with this brand of brackets?...

I don't know the brand. I was told they might be using ICE but since they are phasing that brand out at this office that it might be another brand. I will find out tonight when I get my spacers put in. Oh how annoying a second round of braces will be. I am 31 and had braces on for 4 years as a kid! ...

Hi all, This is my first post here. I am getting braces next week.... spacers tonight. Upper and lower clear. I was told they they will be using a "new" type of bracket that speeds up the process so my treatment will be 6-10 months instead of the average 2 years. I am getting a crossbite c...
