Metal Mouth Message Board

I think you should be able to wait because during the 10 days I had them I took them out every few days because they had food in them! EW! So I cleaned them in mouthwash and put them back in.

Post the naked photos, Mackenzie! (Naked photos...my goodness, Lyn...what KIND of forum are you running?) :lol: :lol: :lol: And Congratulations! :-)o Thanks! I'll post pics sometime soon because I have to get a new crown. I have bonding built up on a tooth right now and somehow it discolored and lo...

I get to see all of mine in about an hour! I'M SO EXCITED!!! This is better than Christmas morning! I'm nervous that I won't like them though and I really hope they look big because I've always thought I have little teeth.

I plan on wearing mine as much as possible but sort of regulating it myself. If I leave it out for a few hours and it feels tight, obviously I can't keep leaving it out for a few hours, but if it feels okay I might try to leave it out even longer because I work 5-10 hour shifts at work depending on ...

I disagree with everyone. In my school ID picture I smiled with my lips closed and I think it looks really good. Here is another pic of me and I don't think it looks that bad. Well it is an ugly picture but my lips don't look bad. If it does look weird someone tell me please! (Except that I'm gettin...

I'd say stick with dark colors, blues, red, maybe green, (my bro did it and it looked good but from far away it might look like lettuce haha), maybe black, or if you're like the "funny guy" pink could be funny and hot. If I was at a bar and a guy had pink braces it would make me want to ta...

Wow that is seriously AMAZING! I didn't know a tooth could move that far. That's crazy CONGRATS!

Ask them to call you if there is a cancellation and they can get you in, or call every week to ask if there is an opening.

Usually they will say you should take your kid to the ortho at age 7. This is to check for any major huge problems that need to get treated right away. Normally they will tell you to come back around age 11-13 and get treatment, that way the braces will be off around age 13-15. If they wear their re...

About the original tooth whitening question, I've always heard your should bleach your teeth no whiter than the whites of you eyes.

It's so they can say, "look, here are the teeth, no braces on so no more movement caused by us, the teeth are straight and the roots are good." They do it so they have proof they got everything right, and if your teeth move back you can't say they didn't do a good job and try to take them ...

I had those wires too and they opened up my bite perfectly in only 3 months, so hopefully you will have the same luck. It's really amazing to look in the mirror one day and bite down and notice you have the proper amount of overbite!

I had a weird dream last night. You know those LIVESTRONG bracelets that were popular a year or two ago? They are like a big fat rubber band with writing stamped on it? They have them for many things (if you don't know what I'm talking about) usualy charity type stuff and you buy the bracelet for a ...

You have really nice shaped teeth, I bet they will look amazing when they're done!

I think I heard on here that powerchains loose their effectiveness after about a week because they get strectched out. Maybe you need a new one.
