Metal Mouth Message Board

I think I'm going to miss having someone look at my teeth and tell me how amazing they're looking every month when I go for an appointment. :-* It's a nice confidence boost. I love this thread. Its made me realise that maybe i don't TOTALLY hate my braces. I 100% agree with the comment above ^^^ I ...

http://imageshack.com/a/img922/7880/Hk2H8n.jpg Wow..It's been 3 month since i posted an image update. So here's one! Not much has changed since the last pic which shows just how quickly my top teeth straightened out initially. Does anyone know if the little gaps, e.g. between my central incisors, wi...

This was taken on yesterday (May 31) - just over 2 months progress on my uppers!

Amazing progress Steph30...your teeth look perfectly aligned!

Hey, I had a look at your progress as well! your uppers look absolutely perfect already! Awesome. I was hoping yesterday at the adjustment they would tell me that because ive had so much progress my braces may come off earlier haha.. no such luck! Oh thank you so much!! :D It seems like they did a ...

Ooh that sounds rough!! They were completely beneath the gumline?? I'm sure that, after this, braces will seem easy peasy! So don't lose motivation...in a couple of years you'll be so happy you did it! Feel better soon! I'm not sure how you can speed up the healing but I do know that Campbell's Thai...

You have a lovely smile claribeary! You're results are going to be amazing!! And you really suit those braces..they look great! Rock it girl!!

Your progress after 7 weeks is amazing! :D They make me excited. I just got my braces on last night and I can't wait to see some form of noticeable change. :jump: My last molars are unbracketed as well - a total of 4 of them. :) Thank you claribeary :D :D :D it is super exciting to see changes!! I ...

Did your ortho indicate how wide he could get your arch? No, I still haven't asked that question. I think I'm slowly seeing my smile widen. Although I could just be imagining that haha. I guess if/when my ortho attached brackets to my final molars it will widen. Do you have brackets on all of your ...

Wow KellyGreen you're right! We do have very similar teeth. Except yours are so lovely and white (im very jealous haha)

It'll be awesome to see eachothers progress!!

Wow, you and I have very similar "before" teeth (with the titled top incisors). I'm definitely going to be following your story! How long are you in for? It has been 1 week for me so far. 12-18 months to go, lol! A lot of people mention more pain after the first wire change. You didn't ex...

I'm really pleased I went for the clear ones over metal, I can't even begin to think how different I would look with metal ones. Also I'm pleased at how much I'm getting used to them and they feel weird is after I brush my teeth. However my teeth are hurting so much! I only have one tooth that isn'...

Thank you for your encouraging words
I only have the top braces on so far! But il be getting metal on the bottom in 3 weeks.

They look great! I'm not sure what the difference is but I got ice braces fitted today and they look pretty similar to yours :) how have you found them? Yer i think ice brackets are pretty similar! Theyve been pretty good so far! Im definitely happy that i wwnt with ceramic over metal. I'm on the s...

I also noticed .. between my two front teeth on the bottom it looks like something is stuck in my teeth but I think its just a bit of free space? Cause I cant floss it out... I don't like that.. hoping they can file my teeth or something so they lay nicer together.. **Anyone else notice the "s...
