Metal Mouth Message Board

[center]



Let me start off i was supposto to get braces when i was 14 but i hated the fact of metal in my mouth. Even though i hated to smile and i wouldnt like how i came out in picture. Now at 17 i decided to get through with it since i enroll in College and people are not as imature as in high school. I went back to my Ortho and i was Estimated 18 months. I decided to go through with it. I'm currently been 2 months with the braces and i love how my smile turning out. Even though i fell it taking FOREVER, time gose by and each day is a day closer to get to that " super star smile "

I was nervous the first day, i remeber not being able to sleep and i couldn't picture how i would look. When i got to the Ortho he sat me down within 15 mins waiting. i was about an hour in the process finally looked in the mirror and ...



I looked soo young. It felt incredibly uncomfortable and i HATED how they looked. Anyways time goes by....

Notice a change?
So far i gotten over the fact i have braces cause my smile is alot nicer. Even though i'm still HOPING to take them off early.

Wow, LaDii_Kiki, you have had some incredible movement there. Your teeth are looking fantastic! You must be so excited to see so much progress in only two months. What color ligs do you have (they look silver)?

Wow, they are looking great. That is amazing progress.

Hey thanks guys, i appricate the inspiration... I posted up the picture because alot of people tell me the same that my teeth move quickly. I think the key is to keep clean, i brush almost 100x's a day and i floss every night. I heard from a someone that if your teeth are clean they move better.

P.s - Yea my ligs are silver

First off, I just have to say THANK YOU! When I first read what you said I was amazed--my reason being that I am in almost the exact situation as you are. Granted, my teeth are far worse (believe me!) but it's the same general idea. I'm seventeen, going to college next year and terrified of people seeing my hideous teeth! But seeing how much imporovement your teeth have shown in that relatively short time gives me hope. Hopefully my teeth will have straightened a fraction of that amount in six months. So thank you!

This is AMAZING progress in just over 2 months!!!! I wish my teeth were moving that fast!

oh wow! what fantastic improvement in such little time! I can only hope my teeth look that grea! :O

you are a great inspiration to us all- especially for me, I know how young I feel right now, especially when in college and I see all of these people running around with perfect teeth from years of braces in grade school o_o...

yea i see a [b]HUGE[/b] difference

gOod luck with the rest of your treatment!!

As the others have said, you have made a lot of improvement in only 2 months. You can really see the wires straightening out over the course of your treatment.

How do your teeth look now?
