Metal Mouth Message Board

Got my braces on last week, will have 4 extractions next week, here's how my teeth are at the moment, I will keep this updated for future reference nostalgia purposes ^^ If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Braces type: In-Ovation C, ceramic brackets top and bottom
Sentence: 24 months

Congrats on getting your braces, how do those brackets feel? One ortho I went to used them, but I opted for damons.

For the first few days I thought they were rough on the lips. At one point I thought one of the brackets had chipped since it felt super rough. But after a few more days it's not that bad, I no longer need dental wax.

my teeth are more crowed than yours. so now i feel much calm to get 4 extractions. i am going to start it soon.

they look really good! good luck on your braces journey!

Good luck! You will look fabulous when finished.

Thank you still a long way to go though =]

Best of luck on your journey!

First Adjustment- Square Wire + Extractions (4)

i did not see wire cross your gaps? Mine is connected.

Next adjustment in February they will put the brackets on the molars (I had to do some fillings first )

I like the looks of your braces. I will be getting the In Ovations myself but just the 6 top ones that show in ceramic. The rest will be metal but that's because my bite is really off so the metal will be stronger for that. I am told I will be in mine for 30 months. It was nice to hear that it didn't take long before you got used to them.

Good luck with your treatment! I think your teeth look beautiful already!

15 mos update, gaps are almost completely gone

Bottom braces changed to metal due to my teeth touching the ceramic brackets (did not want to risk tooth chipping).

Your teeth look fantastic!
