Metal Mouth Message Board

Saw my one therapist for our last session today so I did not open up with everything, I have an emergencey appointment Thursday with my new one. Everything is really getting me down. I just bought a used truck three weeks ago and had to have it towed in to the repair shop. Honestly folks not everyon...

I have always had some speach problems. In college, 2 years ago, I was given a huge speech. I had run over it in my mind a thousand times. It was on our Civic Center park where our capitol building is built. The speech contained the word capitol more than twenty times. Everything was going good till...

Saw my ortho. I did not complain as I wanted to about the pain. He asked and I said it was really a lot worse than I thought and it was still bothering me. He asked if I was taking advil and i said no that i was on prescription pain killers since saturday and he gave me a weird look and I explained ...

I have been getting my teeth cleaned every three months for the past year because my teeth are really messed up and second so the orthodontist, some in past complained, couldn't complain that I wasn't taking good enough care of my teeth. My first adjustment is four days before my next cleaning. I kn...

On the vit B, I have been taking a multi vitamin and drinking good shakes. I am sure it is the emotionial side of things and I am meeting with my psychotherapist tomorrow which should help loads.

I have a ten am appointment with him. I am going to discuss everything with him starting with the fact I am unhappy about the pain in beginning. I am also going to ask about teeth hitting brackets though I doubt much can be done until the teeth straighten up their act.

Well let me begin with the good stuff from my weekend so far. The pain I think is subsiding and I think most of it is from teeth hitting teeth and teeth hitting brackets-OW! I also lost a wire on one of my upper front teeth. Called into the office, waiting to hear back from them. I am learning to le...

Last night was the worst night I have had in a very long time. I do not handle change well and several things in my life are “up in the airâ€

Day 3…ow. It has been a worse journey than I planned on and I am physically and emotionally drained. I am looking forward to relaxing this weekend. I am a 28 year old male who works in an engineering office as a drafter and supervisor. I did not talk on Wednesday nor yesterday. I have also taken i...

I am still mad at my ortho, less today then yesterday, and everything went well ok I guess. I think for some of us it is some psyche about the whole ordeal. Hang in there, I know it does get some better though I am still new and waiting to make it through the weekend.

I have been looking at some of these stories and should post my own. Man I wish I would have found this place before Bday. EJ did the ortho explain how bad the first couple of days would be and the hitting of the teeth together? Mine did not and i am thinking of having a few choice words with him af...

I was so smart when I had my wisdom teeth taken out a year and a half ago. I bought enough soft and healthy food for a week. I spent two weeks in agony and drugged out of my mind. Needless to say I lost 9 pounds in two weeks. I have always been overweight since a back injury and exercised greatly be...

I left work at 3:30 yesterday feeling absolutely awful. I had eaten four eggs throughout the morning, and some beef stew for lunch with a good deal of pudding for an afternoon snack, but my stomach was like I was hungry-hard to describe. On the way home I stopped and bought some ramen noodles, tuna,...

I am a huge phobic when it comes to dentists. If you are really worried maybe opt for only one side at a time. My problem was not only the four wisdom came out but the idiot talked me into having a front one out at the same time. It made eating almost undoable. Stock up of healthy soft foods like su...
