Metal Mouth Message Board

Personally, I really like your teeth. I think it looks nice when the centrals are longer than the laterals. I like the canines too. They look very natural. If you want everything totally even, maybe a little bonding or some slight shaving would do the trick...

Hi pearls, i agree with TumbleDryLow, and i also think your teeth look very good! i can't make my top front teeth touch the bottoms, no matter how hard i try... but to me thats a good thing so i don't wear them down anymore (also good so i cant bite my nails anymore, lol). i had a class II overbite ...

I am having my overjet reduced with class II elastics. It's a pain, and literally a pain, but it seems to be working

Newsboysgrl- My bad, lol, sorry :oops: Actaully, when I looked at your pictures again the thought occured to me that it may just be the way you are smiling in the first pics... but I couldn't go back and edit my post. But, anyways, you must be very happy!! Your teeth look so beautiful! beth1966- Yes...

Wow, you have had so much improvement! There is a huge difference in how much gum is showing between your first pic and last pic! Great progress!! Actually, my wire looked a lot like yours when I first had my braces put in. It was neat watching it slowly straighten up.

Wow! Looks great!! It is amazing how quickly the braces moved your teeth into position!

I was wondering the same thing... cause after I got my braces I started noticing some little lip lines. They've pretty much gone away now, thank goodness! I'm not straining my lips as much now that I'm more used to my braces

Thanks bracedagain! I have started to read your story and I am very inspired!! Congrats on your progress!!

Hi Luella!

Your teeth do look very nice already, I'm sure you will have great results!! I look forward to following your story too

Wow, I think your teeth look great!! Your top arch changed so much from the first picture. I hope mine turn out that nice!

Hi Jenny, I just read your story. It sounds like things are coming around great for you! Have you had any pain yet? I have noticed that one or two of my teeth will hurt at a time, then the pain goes away for a few days, then another couple of teeth start to hurt and so on...

Thank you all for the encouragment! Yes, it is frustrating to be in braces again, but so far it has been well worth it. And the technology has improved so much over just the last couple of years!
Good luck to all of you, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you

Your smile looks amazing!! I am so happy for you

Hi annab79! Very nice to meet you! Yes, I got braces again for that very same reason!! I had braces 8 years ago. My teeth were nice and straight when finished, but I guess in order to make my overjet less visible, the ortho left my top front teeth tilted inwards slightly (??). It wasn't until years ...

Welcome estar!
I joined a few days ago myself and am loving it! So much good information
