Metal Mouth Message Board

It's 10:15 at night and tomorrow at 1:15 I get braced. I think just uppers first. I can't wait to get these darned spacers out. I hope they band the lowers even if they don't put the brackets on there. I don't know if I can take spacers again.

Excited and a little nervous. Thanks to all of you for posting, it really helps to know what others have gone through to keep the nerves down. I'll let you know how it goes.

Goodluck psych1985 and i hope everything goes smoothly during your braces installing.

You've started your bracial journey! Congrats

Its only uphill from here

I'm not sure what time zone Missouri is in but by Pennsylvania time you're almost there! Good Luck and I hope it goes well. I go for my spacers on May 2. Less than 3 weeks. Yeh!

I won't say that the process was fun but it was painless. Maybe I just keep my mouth running usually so it wasn't so different.

They told me they were going to put on the tops only when we did the treatment plan but yesterday they went wild and put them all on. I'm kind of glad except, they had to put what they call towers on my lower molars to keep me from biting off the bottom brackets. My top teeth sit directly over my bottom teeth in front. Impossible to chew. Hello SlimFast and V8. Oh yeah, the new lisp is really annoying. I don't know if everyone lisps at first. Does this happen to everyone or is it just the towers?

Everyone was right. So far I think the spacers were worse. I chose the Damon's and I am already seeing some movement. I hope it continues to move this fast but I don't think I'll hold my breath.

Hey rage. tomorrow is your big day. I hope all goes smooth. Everyone has given good advice on this board.

The braces feel like they sit pretty far off your teeth but it's really not bad. I have heard a lot of people say it wasn't really noticed but that hasn't been my experience. Everyone has noticed and has been positive about it. It has been fun so far.

Hey don't forget to check for stickers before you leave the otho's office. Good luck. Smile big and proud.
