Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey everyone! It has been SO long since I've been able to be on here!!! My wedding was absolutely perfect, despite the rain! I am so grateful I went through this process, it completely put the icing on the cake! Here is a link to my photographer's website for all of our wedding pictures. Click enter...

Thanks guys! Can't believe it's only been about 4 months!!!

I used my "normal" floss tonight...it was so exciting!!

THEY'RE OFF! I am so incredibly happy! I feel completely 100% ready for my wedding now! One issue, my dentist could not bond the small spaces I have today due to my gums. They're VERY swollen, red, and bleeding quite a bit. He gave me a mouthwash to use twice a day, and I am supposed to see him next...

Thanks Miss Smiley! I am so excited!

I can't believe only about 4 months ago my teeth looked like this!

Hey everyone! Had an appointment yesterday and got most of my bottom brackets removed! He left 4 on the back teeth and told me to smile a lot this week and decide if I'll let him leave those on through the wedding. I already decided no, you can obviously see them! Anyways, I get my uppers removed ne...

cwatt -Thank you! Yes, I am definately getting the butterflies in my stomach! MommaDucky -Thank you! I'm so glad I took pictures after every adjustment, during those times you feel really down it helps to look at those pictures! I'm also glad I decided to do this before the wedding...although I pro...

Hello Everyone! :-1 Feels like forever since I've been on here-I've been super busy with school and the wedding! I cannot believe were about a month out from getting married! Everything is really coming together, I'm getting excited...nervous...I don't know-a bunch of mixed emotions! I had another a...

Your teeth are looking beautiful! You've had great movement!!

After I got finished eating tonight I thought my lower powerchain felt a little strange. Went in the bathroom to check it and the bottom half had come off. I took a pair of tweezers to try to get it back on (I did that one time with a lig) and ended up breaking it. I will call my ortho tomorrow-its ...

Thanks everyone so much for your nice comments. What would I do without archwired! :BigGrin: I am confident that my decision is a good one, I've pushed though all of my wedding stuff with braces so far and I know I can continue to do so. But ultimately in the end, were talking about a beautiful smil...

Miss Smiley-My fiance said the same thing. No way did I ever think anyone would think that was cute! But thank you-I'm very happy to see them aligning FINALLY!

Hey everyone! I had another successful adjustment today. This was probably one of the most painful ones that did not involve a tooth extraction-but the most painful ones are the ones you see the most movement out of! My K9's are coming along great! This is all we have left to do before the wedding, ...

KiwiKaren- Thanks for the comments, I can't wait to share pictures! I'm getting them removed for so long for a few reasons. One because I live about 45 minutes away from my orthodontist and as the wedding draws closer I'm finding it harder and harder to make my appointment times. He suggested I tak...

cwatt1- thank you for the compliments! Yes, this area is beautiful, especially the river road! My K9's are really starting to move into place now that they're added to the archwire! It's really neat to see how fast your teeth can actually move. I'm starting to think more about the wedding. I have a...

Thanks for the comments! I am so excited to see my temporary results for the wedding. When we first started he said he had no idea where we would be at by September (were hoping to take them off about a month before the wedding). Now he's thinking it will be less like a full grill, and more like a f...
