Metal Mouth Message Board

I don't have any answers but am also very interesting in knowing. My open bite is why I'm having treatment in the first place and I'm pretty concerned about this.

Sorry, I can't help you with your exact situation but I can tell you that I went to a volleyball practice the same day I got my braces on and a tournament just a few days later. It was really never an issue to me but may be different for what you're talking about. When in doubt, call and ask your or...

Well I had my ajusment yesterday and it was a pretty eventful one!! The ortho came and put a lot of little kinks in the backs of the wire (my finishing wire) then told the assistent to put me on some rubber bands. So with a "new" wire shape, power chains top and bottom and elastics, my mou...

Remember: The sooner you start eating like normal (no matter how much it hurts) the better and less painful it will get. Like the sneakers sneakers tennis shoes sneakers haha ha ha!!!!!!! THIS IS SPAM REPORT IT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR IMMEDIATELY! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME! HAIL AND FAREWELL! slo...

Great to hear your experience jxds! Hope it's all going smoothly now. I might be getting a cross elastic here soon... braces alone have actually fixed most of my crossbite but there is still one tooth left with a bit of a cross bite. I'm actually a bit excited to get elastics or something new going ...

That's great to hear it's working out for you Jelhatton!! I always get excited when I feel my teeth touching where they didn't before :banana: . I'd love to see pictures of your treatment, do you have them posted anywhere? Sorry I don't have any :roll: I don't put any of my picture online and I can'...

I don't think I've really changed anything in my routine.... But then again I've never been a big makeup/jewelry gal :) I've heard that playing up the eyes works well with braces. I don't have pierced ears but I was thinking about it for awhile but I think I'll probably wait - the braces along with ...

I know it can be quite different between people but for me, I never really had any problem. The first few days after getting them on my teeth were pretty sore and I had a hard time eating but I kindof took the mentality of 'I'm not going to let this change how I eat!' and just made myself keep eatin...

Can't say I am but I did try eating gluten and dairy free for a few months awhile back for other dietary reasons. It's not easy and definetely not as fun :/ but it can be done :) . I don't know if you've looked into this at all but there are actually alot of flour mixes and stuff like that that is m...

Idaho for me!

Thankfully I've never had a bracket fall off but it doesn't sound fun . Have you tried making the wax stick more to itself around the wire instead of actually sticking to the wire? (if that makes any sense...) Sorry I can't be more help!

Hmm... doesn't look like too many people on here have this kind of bite. I looked at your pictures thisisme and they're looking great!! :D I was never a sugery case (except for one ortho who would have recomended me to her husband for the surgery :? ) and another thing I forgot to mention is that I'...

Hi everyone! Just to introduce myself, I currently have damon braces to fix my open bite and cross bite. I've been lurking here since before I started treatment back in September and have learned alot but finally decided to join since I had a question I couldn't really find the answer to. Sorry if i...
