A new member of the metal mouth club
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2005 4:32 pm
Just wanted to say hi. Ciome 6 September, I will be a braceface, top and bottom, for the first time.
A few months ago, while working at the computer, I felt something go snap in my mouth. The face of a lower incisor just came off. A trip to the dentist the next day resulted in a new face being bonded on. End of story, I thought! Recently I noticed that one tooth (the incisor next to it) had moved and I felt pressure on my top corresponding tooth as a result causing me not to be able to close my mouth fully.
I was encouraged to see an orthodontist as other teeth were crooked. I saw him today and he recommended full braces. I'm looking forward to the 6th as I have wanted a full metal mouth since I was a kid. The ortho asked about what kind of braces. I told him the more metal the better- hence my tag line.
Will keep the club posted on my progress or regress whichever the case might be.
By the way I am 55, single, straight (and looking) and am semi retired (I buy distressed real estate. rehab and resell)
More of this sage later.
