Metal Mouth Message Board

I wear a combo of Moose and Impalas every day. I get comments and it makes me feel really bad sometimes. I had a service person ask me why I had FANGS glued onto my canines Then he saw that they were elastics and only said, "oh, elastics...never mind" JERK!!!

Then I've had countless kids (elementary age) tell my that the elastics make me talk funny and could I please take them out. The middle school kids don't seem to notice or care (THANKFULLY)

My husband hates them!

I can't win. I wear them for probably about 20 yours a day when I'm working, but try for the whole 24 (aside from cleaning) when I'm home.

I do feel rediculous sometimes in them, but I know that once I'm done this small period in my life will be forgettable if not forgotten all together.

I have good 'ol Ram! They seem to be pretty darn thick, though I do not know how thick they can get....

It has a cute picture of a ram on the front. I have many, many bags of these! One in each car, one in the Denta-Kit, a couple in the bathroom, one in the bedroom, one in my desk drawer, one in the lobby bathroom storage closet with a tooth brush. I keep finding them on the floor....They seem to get out of the bags and move around on their own! I even saw a few in the vacuum cleaner receptacle. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Eagle and Zebra.

i have "italy" for my class 3 bite on one side... ya i no its not exciting but hey i would love to go to italy

"Moose" for me...I just started on elastics last week - I feel like I am just starting to get used to them now... they seem to
be doing the job though

Right now I have Impalas. They are definitely smaller and stronger than the Rams I had two adjustments ago. Sometimes they irritate the corner of my mouth, but most of the time I don't really notice them.

My bag is blue & white & they are "Manatees"

I have Impalas but had Chipmunks (and also Impalas) when I was banded shut after my jaw surgery. Now that I'm not banded shut anymore and am just wearing Class II triangles on each side of my mouth, I have to say this is a cakewalk compared to being banded shut!

Very cool.

Mines are called Bummer.

Parrot here

I've been in Rabbits for about 6 months, but I also spent a little time in Dolphins.

Fun times with my chipmunks! In a front box configuration for the last 16 months 24 hours a day (or as close as possible).

Mine are called Komodo Dragons, all the names crack me up

I may be getting the forsus (sp) appliance to replace the rubber bands and supposedly accelerate the time in them. Anyone else hear of that option or have tried it?
