Metal Mouth Message Board

heyy! ok i know its been like almost 6 months since i've written a post. but that just means lots of news right? i got lazy and stopped taking pictures so i havent exactly been documenting every adjustment. but compared to the last pictures i took back in like january my teeth look very very differe...

ok so i got a little surprise at my last adjustment. turns out she had alot more in store for me than just a powerchain change. she started out by changing my bottom wire. keep in mind i've had the same flexi starter wire since i got the bottoms on in august. so thats like 6 months in the same wire....

soooo, i have an adjustment coming up on the 9th. i'm hoping i can still make it to the appointment. i dont actually remember what time it's at. but unfortunately my grandmother just passed away on the 4th. so the funeral is on the same day as my appointment. so i'm just hoping the times dont clash ...

sooo i gathered some pictures of my teeth before braces. i wanted the ones from the ortho because they're alot closer up. cuz the flash sometimes would blurr the crookedness and they would actually look somewhat straight. there arent any that really show my overbite. i just found some from a few dif...

oh i forgot to mention about that first picture on the left of my bottom teeth. it's before i got the bottoms on, it was taken from a side angle, because its the only angle that really could show the mild overcrowding. as you can see it was just that one tooth was a little out of place, other than t...

lol thanks....i'm just at that horrible gappy stage right now. the main gaps are closing, but new ones keep appearing lol. oh well all part of the process i guess. nothing i can really do about it. i'd rather be gappy for a few months and end up with nice striaght teeth rather than live with my teet...

i took pictures i just gotta make some sort of collage type thing so its easier to see the movement. I'm really impressed theres been quite a bit these past couple months. the gaps are closing so quickly. creating new ones else where mind you, but the big gaps are closing lol. i cant wait till these...

yeah, i thought it wouldnt hurt that much. when i spoke to my dentist, she said she herself cannot do much for me about it until my braces are off, or unless she gets a note from my ortho saying that it's ok, and how they would be able to be shaped. she also said that once the overbite is fixed, and...

yaaaay! my gaps are finally starting to close. i cant fit my finger in them anymore which is good news lol. i'll get pics soon. i have an adjustment on the 21st, im not sure for what, maybe bottoms, since im still on my first bottom wire. who knows. my ortho said that my bottoms will be off alot soo...

yeah, im surprised this powerchain has stayed so white. my ortho only just began offering coloured elastics. my frineds both just get the white ones and no matter what the eat, they stat brilliant white even when my friend ate curry when we went to england :O i'm hoping mine does the same. KK is rig...

yeah my ortho is really good. she's fairly cheap. speed and damon braces are the exact same thing, just different brands of the bracket. usually speed braces cost alot more, but for some reason in the line of "traditional metal braces", speed is all she carries. which is pretty good i gues...

so i put together another collage so you dont have to keep flipping back to the previous page to compare. http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/9792/progress2ph2.th.jpg the first column of pictures starting on the left, is from august-08-2007 the second column is from august-21-2007 the third is from a...

hey lt, i just read your story. you're teeth have made amazing progress so far. it's good to know im not the only one whos obsessed with my teeth lol. i look at them every chance i get because im just so happy with the progress so far. i can see how inspecting them every day would cause you to see t...

ooops...i accidentally hit new topic. so i copied it to my original blog, with pictures and what not so no one gets confused..just disregard this one

so i had my adjustment on tuesday the 2nd. i had to cancel it from the 24th because i was really sick. so they didnt change my wire but i did get elastics. the front four teeth are connected with the elastics, then from the canine to the 2nd last molar on both sides. this was the first time my teeth...
