Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi Mark, I hope that eating is still going well. I still have some pain when I bite down. It really sucks. But, I am proud of myself for getting braces at 29. I also know it is hard around co-workers. I have the metal braces and had them put light blue color bands on. I figure coworkers are going to...

So sorry no pictures yet. I had a really, really rough day. My teeth are sore and I can't eat many foods at all. I have lost 4 pounds since my June 27 wisdom teeth extractions and spacers and now braces- because I can't eat much. My husband is worried about me. My cheeks are better due to the wax (t...

Cwatt1, Rage31 and JBrace, Thank you for thinking of me on my b-day! The braces are on, boy what a different kind of feeling. There is metal in my mouth!! How strange, yet ok at the same time. I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, yep they are still there! Half-way through the bracing pr...

I can completely empathize with you about the spacers. I couldn't chew anything and I felt like my teeth were going to fall out! I wish you all the best with getting rubber spacers in and then the braces. I promise to wear the retainer when I am done. I can't afford to do this twice. Thanks again f...

Thanks! Yes, I do have the butterflies from anticipation. I think I am having popcorn tonight!!

Angie and Mark, I am glad that the braces are going well for you so far!

Oh, and thanks for the info on how to post pictures, I'll look into it!

It has been very hot here in New York and so I have stayed away from the computer upstairs, no ac. I wanted to take the time to thank everyone for the support. It really means a lot, that you would actually care enough to respond. It looks like there are two of you who are also going through this sa...

My name is Lily. I am 29 and a teacher in a small rural school in New York. I am getting braces next Friday and I have many mixed emotions... What will I look like? How will my husband feel about this journey? But for now, with my recent 4 wisdom teeth extractions and current spacers I am in some p...

Thanks for the replies, it isn't as horrible pain like teeth extraction... but achy is right, it's a different feeling if you've never felt it before.

Hi Everyone! My name is Lily and I am 29 years old. I had my four wisdom teeth out last week and have spacers in now. I am in a lot of pain, like someone is punching my teeth!! Almost like I could twist them out or something. Anyway, I get braced on Friday the 13th and am really excited to begin my ...

I had my four wisdom teeth out last week and have spacers in now. I will get braced on the 13th... we will be sharing this journey together!! I am 29 and a teacher, my name is Lily welcome.

Nine days ago I had my four wisdom teeth extracted. Four days ago I had spacers put in and now my teeth feel weird. If I press my tongue against my teeth (near the spacers) they hurt really bad... like someone is punching them. Is this normal? I don't get braces on until the 13th! Thanks!
