Metal Mouth Message Board

I took a couple of months off dating and match.com b/c I wasnt sure how getting my aligners would impact my life.

I am in my first wk of wearing them and still getting use to the elaborate cleaning routine and change in life style. I am less spontaneous now and feel like I have to plan ahead for things (meals/clean kit, bathroom locations, snack times, work/activity schedule). It has really force me to be deliberate and methodical. Not to mention it has changed in my speech.

How long did it take for you to get back to dating scene? Any awkwardness? Difficulty with night outings (dinner/drinks)? Did you tell person you dated? Did they noticed at first? Is it apparent during kissing?

To those that are not single and have a supportive spouse/partner already, you guys/gals are so lucky!

Thanks

Got back into that straight away. It causes no problems at all. I just tell them straight away, like make an excuse when I order a drink that it has to be white wine not red as I have braces on. I am a woman, but in some areas they actually improve my love life! I won't go into any details here though...
