Metal Mouth Message Board

Hope it smooths out for you we know it can be rough at first! What activities do you do that can help you keep your mind off of it. Dance did it for me so maybe take some lessons if you are not already at the barre!
Take care and keep us posted!

I had my records exam some time back and now just today at 2 will be saying...

Hi jenny and welcome!

I bet you have already heard about the salt rinses so try those. My B-day was postponed but now is around the corner so I am nervous right along with you! Lets support each other? Take care

Hey there MG, welcome to our club of metal moth horrors! :roll: Sorry you are having a rough start after separator pain too, yikes. I bet you will start to work out of the lisp maybe after some time goes by? Hope so or else Daffy Duck might have some competition? :P Not to worry, you have plenty of ...

Welcome Becca! We are so glad you took the plunge, hooray for metalmouths huh? I have my B-day coming up the 26th of this month. Gulp! Three hour chair ride and I will have stainless steel uppers and lowers, two habit appliances and molar buildups to contend with! Lets get through this and make it f...

:evil: Hello all, I am scheduled to have my second set of fun with the little evile orthodontic donuts today and then 2 weeks after the long chair ride to make my grin stainless steel for three years. Yikes, here we go. All the best to everyone here and stay away from the tool box with the pliers ri...

Welcome Faith to the forum, I bet you are glad to have your spacers out, I know I was! I will need to go back in and have 7 put in due to setback in my treatment but if you ask ahead of time maybe you can avoid that? I will have another month before I go in for what you are doing on a Saturday no le...

Hi soon to be metal mouth Mom! Hey LadyJ! Looks like the time is drawing nearer for you. Thats great you are getting started, I recently had to have my b-day rescheduled after I was already in the chair and tilted back with all my metal 'mints' layed out next to me on the tray! The worst part is I w...

I am in the waiting room and I got to see your pic before I go in today for the full banding treatment! Looks great, you are happy I bet. Take care and I will check back. Waiting to be called back to the treatment room now.

Sorry about the false start Jendz. I am about to walk into the orthodontist right now. Thanks again for the well wishing! I will be back with plenty of stainless steel showing if all goes as planned for me. I may need a habit appliance as well, it depends I guess. Wow, I am thinking about you and yo...

Thanks to KK, LateStarter, iBorg, browneyedgrl, and braces38 we are here at B-day. I am up early trying to prepare myself for a procedure I never thought in a million years I would be undergoing! Last minute jitters and of course I still work before heading to the orthodontist and that wait in the r...

Hello Lilfoot, We miss you on the boards here I guess you are away? If you are still set up for B-day the 11th there is little time left and yet I liked your question about support. My partner arranged my very first consultation where I found out I could not get Invisalign and needed conventional br...
