Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey guys....the only problem I have with the waterpik is that I've wet the entire sink/mirror when I'm finished! It's very noisy, as well. I don't think it's "amazing" yet, but I've only used it three times...I need to stick to it and see if I like it more as time goes on.

Thanks for all your responses! It's nice to know we're not alone. I am trying to drink more water - it's helping. Problem is..I can't slow down...I have Dr.'s barking orders at me all day and expecting speedy speech. Oh well! They'll have to live with it =)

Thank you, kk!!! I always brush right after a soda =( Now I know =)

Hi Kiwi - Thanks for responding. I can't believe my orthodontist never, ever told me that hydration was important..it was never even mentioned. Thanks for that. I didn't even know! =) Ianswer roughly 500 calls per day (hospital) and I just get tired of people saying "I can't understand you!&quo...

I'm an operator...and boy do I slur a lot more now. Makes it quite difficult to speak quickly and clearly. Anyone else feel that way?

I'm in exactly the same predicament. I'd like to do something with the braces for Halloween since I won't have them next year. I thought about Ugly Betty, too. I also thought about going as a catholic school girl/jail bait since they make me look much younger! I can't think of anything else creative...

Hey everyone...thought I would finally join here after all of the excellent advice I've been reading. I've had my braces on for 2 weeks (upper and lower metal with self-ligating brackets). I'll post pictures soon!
