Metal Mouth Message Board

How come everyone has all these cool things in their mouths? I only have a power chain on the bottom and it's only from my canines to the 3rd molars... No headgear, no mention of it but I'm assuming elastics are coming in the future to close up some gaps. But nothing as cool as headgear, buttons, tu...

You look good even on your Day 5 pic! Hope things are feeling better!

Too bad you didn't have your camera to take a pic of the Ortho after you had your way with him! It would have been a great pic for your journal, maybe at the de-banding for retainers? I found that Target also carries wax and it wasn't a bad price at all, I just looked where the dental floss and doo-...

Oooh, can't wait to see your pics. I am not sure what brand of brackets I have be he said they are comparable to Inspire ICE and they are really clear. I'm still shy about my teeth so hopefully you have the same ones as mine and we can find a name. Not that it's really important but I just like to k...

I have been cracking up in front of the computer reading your entries. I haven't laughed like this in a while. You are a riot.

I lived on Codeine for 2 weeks and ibu 800 for one week and now I'm all back to just wincing but no whining. So no, it's not just you being a 2 yr old.

Welcome to the party bus! It will be a long ride but atleast you'll have some good company.

Hey Jecca, I had that same thing. The first two days I wanted to rip these stupid things out of my mouth and was close to asking the Ortho how much it would cost me to have them out NOW. It's been about 3 weeks, I'm kind of used to them and somewhat fond of keeping the ligs clean. Oddly, I enjoy bru...

I wish my appts were that far apart. My ortho said see you in 3 weeks and I said "EVERY 3 weeks?! " I guess he really meant, EVERY 3 weeks. You're a lucky lady!

OOOH, they have an instant wonton soup in a cup which I found just as satisfying as the instant noodles. Also, I found that some ground meat can be pretty brutal (maybe because I'm such a ninny with pain) so I tried bbq'd baby back ribs. As long as I could pull the meat off with a fork, I was able t...

Ok 26 F, living in Los Angeles. First time wired, both upper and lower clears with 4 extractions on recommendation from first the oral surgeon, then the Ortho, which either have no connection because they don't know one another. Needing to correct my bite and severe crowding :( ETA is 30 months. Bit...
