Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi everyone!

I wanted to get my first post done and figured I could do a quick intro. I first got braces at about age 19 and ended up getting them taken off early while pregnant with my son. I'm going back in! I'm almost 34, married with 5 kids, (2 "at-home" kids and 3 "step"kids) and I'm a chemist.

I am getting spacers tomorrow morning and getting braced next Thursday. I'm going with ceramic uppers, metal lowers and expected treatment time of 18-24 months.


I look forward to interacting on the boards.

Hi! I'm doing round 2 of braces and getting my spacers on tomorrow as well. Not sure of my brace date yet, but I'll find out tomorrow. I'm glad to be able to talk to someone who's getting them on around the same time as I am.

Hello Welcome to the boards! I'm 34 also, married with 3 kiddies. I have clear uppers and lowers. Good luck for your brace day

Thanks!

We can be brace mates Mary :)

Thanks Tobilei! I can't wait til I can have more interaction. I'll get to posting once I'm braced

Congratulations on starting your braces journey. I too will be getting ceramic uppers and metal lowers in a couple of weeks and I am excited. My treatment time like yours is supposed to be 18-24 months. Keep us updated on how everything is going.

My brace date is Monday the 28th. Not the same day but close enough!

Hi! Welcome! I'm new to the board as well.
I'm getting upper and lower metal braces on Monday. I've had spacers for the past 2 weeks and I'm ready to move on! =)

Yay!!

If there isn't a January 2013 club started we need to start one!

I'm in for the January 2013 club! Mine go on January 29th getting spacers in the morning. Good luck with your journey!!

There are lots of us getting new teeth in this new year. Im new also and will be getting a full mouth of metal braces in the morning. This will be my second round. First time was probably 25+ years ago. Im 40 and not looking forwars to a year of pain, but am looking forward to a nice smile again. I do like that colors are available this time and I plan to start out bold! Might as well jump right in!

Good luck dutchie! Hope it went well!

Welcome to the forum. I'm also on my 2nd set of braces. I have ceramic uppers and will get ceramic lower braces next month.

How'd it go?

Thanks Ciara!

Hi everyone! I hope all your spacers haven't been too much of a bother. I'm excited because there was a cancellation and instead of having to wait until Monday, I'll be getting braced tomorrow morning!
