Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi Heavymetalnz!! I too am in auckland nz! May i ask who is doing your treatment? hey bro, getting mine done at westgate dental. amazing service, they really are looking after me here and the fees are decent too. i have such a strong gag reflex i think most normal docs would have given up on me but...

So I had the Alf fitted yesterday afternoon before a night shift and oh my god....I’m in so much pain. I can’t eat anything that needs chewing at all. I’m hoping this is only temporary whilst my mouth is adjusting. The positive is that you can’t see anything is in my mouth from just looking at me e...

Hello I’m also 28 and starting treatment on Monday. I won’t be in braces straight away but will be getting an Alf appliance fitted first for a month or so before the braces go in. I had braces as a teenager so not looking forward to it. I’m also worried about what people are going to think, I work ...

[quote=Aro post_id=500927 time=1521079224 user_id=31483] Hello ^_^ I'm getting braces placed tomorrow and extractions on Friday. I'm not quite 28 yet (I turn 28 at the end of this month), but it's close enough right? Hope everything goes well for you. I'm projected to be 18 months. All my baby teeth...

that's great to see you are happy so early in your journey. through reading this i googled bite pads and glad to finally find out that's what they're called! i have them too on my rear molars, since the way my teeth are, these pads had to be quite high up which kinda sucks so my face looks dramatica...

just got mine at the ripe old age of 28 too haha, glad to see it's not that uncommon. my job also involves a lot of talking on both phone and face to face and boy do i feel silly at the moment. my orthodontist put mostly clear brackets on the front teeth and metal ones through the back, so unless i'...

Hi guys, Had couple teeth extracted (one of which was a baby tooth) two weeks ago and just got my braces on last Friday so could say i'm still getting used to them. Still on that 'learning to talk phase'. I thought I was quite a late bloomer getting them at 28 but surprisingly it seems that is when ...

within my 3rd day i noticed changes haha, though i also did just have some extractions the week before in that area. my lower front incisors getting slightly straigher and i can see a gap between them whereas for the past few years one was tucked behind the other due to over crowding.

wow cool i get to be part of this club too :) just dropped off my 3d xray to the orthodontist hoping to hear back soon about feasibility of moving my canine up. will post up xray pics soon as i can (or is that not advisable for online security/privacy reasons? )

that's interesting, i took some pics on my first day on Friday and kind of intended to do this but have forgotten since then haha. have taken one now , will try set up a reminder so i can do this daily, mine are super crooked so will be cool to see the dramatic changes ahead

Hi guys, just got mine on Friday so could say i'm still getting used to them. I thought I was quite a late bloomer getting them at 28 but surprisingly it seems that is when the majority of people on this forum get them! My ortho says i'll have mine on for atleast 14 months. Just had a 3d scan and dr...
