Metal Mouth Message Board

I have wanted braces for many years but was 12 years ago that I would need to jaw surger. So I was very happy that there is newer technology that allows people like me to have braces and correct my bite without the surgery!

On Feb 25, 2009 at age 40 I got my upper braces on.



Two months later when there was more room I had my lower ones put on. My sentence is 28 months but hopefully from reading many messages it might be faster if I stick with the program religiously! My ortho already noticed that my upper palate is wider!

Nice Progress

I am in damons also and they have worked great so far!

I to am in damons and they have been wonderful thus far! my teeth are moving exactly as planned if not faster!!!!!

I have damons too, but its too soon to make a call. I'll just have to wait and see.

Wow you have had great progress. I feel so dumb as I dont know what kind of braces I have. I know I have ceramic uppers i think, no idea what kind on the bottoms but yours are coming along great

I am very pleased about the progress but I still cannot get used to the feel of them in my mouth. I constantly play with the braces pushing my teeth with other teeth. Sometimes I feel that the only time I like is bedtime so I won't notice them anymore.
