Metal Mouth Message Board

I guess I should have been a bit more specific, I am not a candy stealing meanie. The main reason I was out trick or treating was because I was with my little sister and her three friends and edmonton is just not a safe place for little girls to be running around at night in. Even on Halloween. I dr...

its nice to see that other people have rubbed the tongues raw by playing with their braces. I couldnt figure out why my tongue felt like i had burnt my tongue, it was cuz i unconsiously run my tongue over them all the time. its been better though. And good luck with the elastics guys.

I have heard of people having their teeth rot or have cavities because of the bonding not sealing between the bracket and your tooth. I am kind of scared of this. Has anyone hear of this? And is it preventable with really good teeth brushing, using mouth wash and stuff. I know sometimes when I eat a...

believe it or not iam 21 and because of my braces i looked 14, i wore butterfly wings and dressed up. I got more compliments than my little sister, it was so much fun and I am sure I will be giving all those sweets to those who can savor them better than I but I will keep the ones i can be careful w...

i wouldnt give up just yet. I have damon 3's too and I was Getting really annoyed at how my wire kept popping out of the tube and I asked my ortho last week when I was getting my bracket replaced and he said it was because the wire was a thinner one and when he puts the thicker one in it would be b...

Okay so we all know candy is bad for you weather or not you have braces. My mom even called me today while I was at work and the first thing she says is “if it doesn’t melt in your mouth you can’t have itâ€

Thanks for the info, I was starting to get really frustrated..lol

Gosh darn it! I had another bracket popped off. Does anyone else have this problem? Someone was arguing with me saying it is because I have damon 3’s and traditional brackets are stronger? I just think maybe the cement just didn’t hold as well…. But none the less I was off the the ortho once ...

I was totally going for ugly betty, go to a second hand store pick up some clothes that look like what she would wear and your set.

Congrats and welcome, They really aren't kidding though when they say eat soft foods! Hang in there it gets better.

thanks for the tip.

And Hannah, trust me at first it will be a little wierd, I thought to myself what the heck have I done but now its gettin better, After a week you start to get used to it. I am sure you will like it, and I was nervous too but its not as bad as you think.

so will my braces still be working until I see my ortho on nov.11?

I am not sure why, and I thinking that it might have to do with eating. But twice now the archwire has been popping out of the top left bracket. it just pops out of the little hole. And I just pop it back in but I am wondering do my braces still work? or is there something wrong? I really should cal...

I was wondering if any of you might know whats going on. but sometimes when I drink water or eat anything warm/hot I get sharp pain under my gums, and its only certain teeth so I am wonder what the heck. never used to happen. So I am thinking maybe do I need to start using sensodyne....
