Metal Mouth Message Board

Those pictures of you in the fat suit are really funny. I bet it was weird to have people think that you are attractive all the time, then going to having strangers look at you like "Man, who is that big ugly woman over there!" lol

I bought a digital camera yesterday off an online store that has auctions and begins with an e***. I did not spell it out because I did not want it to get marked as spam. I love that store, fantastic deals, I have bought a lot of stuff from there. So, depending on when I get it, I will either post t...

Happy B-day! I know that if your first few days and looking in the mirror for the first few times can be hard to get used to. But after a little while you adjust to it and hardly notice. I have been braced for 6 weeks now and hardly notice and can eat all the old foods I used to. My advice is to buy...

Yes the spacers are kind of uncomfortable. The good thing is though that they get you ready for braces, as my wife said because she used to have braces when she was younger. The spacers kind of let you know what you are in for, although they are worse than braces or a lot of people. I am not in that...

I wanted to let everyone know that I did not forget about posting pics of my arches up here. I have been really busy lately, my ortho has not e-mailed them to me. And I do not have a digital camera of my own...yet. I do not know why I have been holding off to get one. I have almost every other thing...

Wired , I am 27 also and I was braced on June 11, 2007. I am going with all ceramic, but I only have my top braced right now. But I have the pleasure of also having an appliance on the top and the bottom that is on the inside of my teeth. The bottom will be braced in a few months, hopefully two. I ...

Just an update. This is day four and it is getting a lot better. I can eat almost all of the same things as I did before, I just have to brush very thoroughly after each meal to get the stuck food out. Things are feeling a lot better and I can talk a lot closer to normal now. At first it was very we...

Thank you for the advice KK . OK, now can someone please help me out here. It is my firts day back to work (at my sales job) which I have to talk a lot at. I am sounding like all of the people that get made fun of that have braces. I make all of the sounds that are the "Trademark sounds" o...

I got braced yesterday! I have my upper braces now, and I must say that they are a little more than I expected. They feel so huge in my mouth. I know the ceramics are bigger than the metal ones but my ceramics feel very big. To other people with ceramics, how long does this feeling last before I get...

Congratulations on getting started at such a young age! I just turned 27 and am getting nine on in a week. I considered braces when I was your age, and was too afraid to. I am happy that you have decided to do this for yourself when you are only 18. There are some people that wait until they are 40 ...

Meryaten - That is what he is doing pushing out my two front teeth. Because they are curved in a couple of millimeters and my number 7 tooth is out about 1 millimeter. This seems pretty common from the other photos I have seen on here. I have to say I enjoyed reading your braces story Meryaten and ...

I appreciate your advice Karen and I took down most of my pictures, I will put pics of my arch up as soon as my ortho e-mails them to me. I Just thought I would update my story. I decided to go with the ortho that wanted to use appliances for two reasons: Firstly, he is a guy taht makes me fel comfo...

Here are the questions that I was going to ask. My dentist is in his words, "A big believer in appliances, and thinks that they save a lot of time and are the way to go." Okay, that is all well and fine, but here is my question... He said that I have to use an appliance on the top and bott...

Wow, you have had a lot of movement. I can't wait to get mine on!
