Metal Mouth Message Board

Um. Wow. I can actually post agian! On the day that I had my braces put on I came online to post about it and there was a bug of some sort preventing me from doing anything. Anyway, here I am. I've been in braces for 6 weeks now, I haven't had a need for any wax or anything, my mouth seems to have c...

So I got those speparators put in 4 hours ago... I have 8 in total and one of them is metal, which hurt a bit because it kinda felt like it was pricking me everytime I'd bite. I thought it'd be a lot worse but it wasn't bad at all and it's not painful at the moment. It just feels like I need to get ...

Extractions aren't too bad, I had 5 extractions about 3 weeks ago and I think the worst bit for me was the injections and hearing a cracking sound while one was being pulled. Mine have healed quite nicely. Isn't it worrying when you're not sure what/how many teeth you're supposed to get out... befor...

Yes you are lucky to have a supportive partner. My bf is 8 years older than myself and he already feels a little weird about it even though it's no big deal. I think when I get the braces on he'll feel even worse because I already look young for my age. Hehehe. But he is being supportive, and helpin...

I was supposed to get all 4 of my wisdoms removed because they're impacted, although only the bottom two have erupted... so I was supposed to get them out but I was told it would be painful and I wouldn't be able to take any strong painkillers as I was pregnant! So I chickened out, and will be put u...

I am like that too! I was always looking at my teeth and getting all sad about them so when I finally went to see the orthodontist it just always felt like i was waiting... waiting for the molds to be done, waiting for the xrays, waiting for the final consult... waiting for the extractions... etc. N...

I am getting my braces on next week. My treatment looks to be for about 2yrs also. You're lucky you only had the one extraction, I had to have 5!! Big teeth runs in our family, I only noticed recently while flicking through my photo album. Anyway, you are only a week ahead of me (yay, we can be budd...

I got a txt msg from my ortho clinic reminding me of my appointment tomorrow at 3.15. I had almost completely forgotten about it! So now I'm back to being a bit antsy about the process and I hope it doesn't hurt too much. Apparently it'll only take about ten mins or so. It's my last chance to floss ...

The story of how I decided to get braces... At the risk of sounding dorky, I actually cannot wait to get my braces on. I'm a 23 year old mother with another one on the way (due July 2008). My son is 5 years old and has autism. My desire to get my teeth straightened started soon after my son was born...
