Metal Mouth Message Board

Well I guess for some people their profile really does get better but in my case my face was already kind of flat to begin with and with the extraction it brought in the sides and the front of my face which I hate. I feel so self conscious and so ugly. For now, I will have to accept the fact that I ...

hhh

Sorry I posted my main post and pics here by mistake. Please go to the main page to see my post with actual photos. Thanks.

KIMOUS, I am sorry to hear your story. I remember you replying to my post about the sunken cheek? Who is your orthodontist? I am just curious, in case I do need to keep looking. I think I found a good one but just in case? I sure hope you're in California... Let me know where you're located please t...

Can only Damons be used to widen an adults arches?? Please let me know thanks.

Hello all, I had posted some into in regards to my sunken crooked face story. I wanted to give you an update. BTW it's important that we mention these things because it seems that people that go through this for some reason arent talking about it once they get things corrected. I read a similar stor...

Once all of your molars are pushed to where they are supposed to be and your arch is out of its narrow stage your face will look full again. I went through this stage too it was not pleasant. I am still not happy with what I see my face used to be round and since my ortho extracted my bicuspid one s...

Really? God I sure hope so I dont like looking like this. I really hope its true and everything will look normal again.

Whatever... Trust me it isnt the way my MIND percieves it my whole family has noticed one side of my face is sunken in and my cheeks look sunken in. It's not just me. My husband asked me if I was sucking candy because my cheeks looked so sucked in at one point. I have gained 15 lbs since then to cov...

Can an adult use an expander of some sort? I really hope so. I noticed my cheeks have sunken in after extraction and shaving so I hope there is something I can use to re expand my jaw... Let me know thanks.

Thanks for the kind comments. I am doing my best to try to find someone who is interested in helping me fix this. I am pretty upset about this whole thing. I have been in braces for about 8 months now, almost 9 months. The other ortho scared me when he told me one side of my face would always be thi...

It has nothing to do with your age. I am 26 years old and up until 8 months ago before I got these stupid braces I was ALWAYS thought to be 17 years old. Always used to get complimented about how young I looked, always got complimented about my roundish features people thought were "cute."...

Extractions? I wouldnt do it.. Trust me on this one. Not unless you want to be traumatized.

MAJOR REGRETS in Ca

I have a huge problem... My orthontist is aware of this problem and he claims its not because of him. My face never looked like this, it was even. First of all I did not even need braces because they werent even that crooked and he messed them up by not putting one of the teeth on the wire so as the...
