Metal Mouth Message Board

I'm obsessing too. I got mine on February 9th and have a very visible extraction gap, which I can't wait to finally be gone, so I keep checking every hour to see if it's any smaller. As if watching my teeth will somehow make them move faster... :? People do tell me the gap is smaller though, so they...

Congrats!

I'm also recently braced and can't wait until the end result

I know what you mean. Even though I'm sort of used to mine by now, I'm still obsessing a little... checking every hour to see if it's smaller (which of course only makes it more difficult to notice any changes).

But I sort of got used to it by now. And I know that with my new braces, the gap will gradually disappear and my teeth will be ...

Congrats on your new braces!!! I got mine 2 days ago, only lowers just like you. I have metal though. So far so good. Of course the wax helps. The only challenge right now is eating, as I still can't stand to chew anything. I've been sticking to soup these first few days. But it does get better with...

Hi JavaChip. I'm 27 and just got braces yesterday (only lowers, as I already had one of those retainer-like braces to straighten my upper teeth when I was younger). Like you, I've always hated my teeth and have been thinking about getting braces for a long time. I really wish I would have done this ...

I'm 27 and getting my braces in 3 days.
I'm so excited (and a little scared too )
