Metal Mouth Message Board

my ceramics came off VERY easily, no pain whatsoever. They were off in about 5 minutes or so, only difference I've heard of when removing them compared to the metal ones is that they can sometimes crack and break into pieces. That happened with 2 of them and they did not hurt. You can check out my b...

Thank you anxiousgirl, ferris572, and schar. I feel great! Braces are so worth all the time, pain and frustration and The retainer is awesome, my teeth look just as great as they did the day they came off, I'm so pleased with my results.

thank you so much to everyone who commented! I am very happy with my results, I only wish I would have gotten braces much sooner. This experience has been amazing, I finally can say I LOVE my smile. I have been wearing my retainer faithfully every night and havent seen any shifting whatsoever! Very ...

Thank you so much! I'm so Happy with my results

Thank you both so much, I am so happy I finally got braces, I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner! It was definitely worth all the soreness, 6 extractions with braces put on the same day, feeling like my teeth would fall out, the wires cutting into my mouth and getting my tongue stuck on bands ...

Before Braces http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt243/mrsyoung85/IMG_2058small-2.jpg 2 Months http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt243/mrsyoung85/12-12-2010almost2Months2.jpg 4 months http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt243/mrsyoung85/3-31-201035months5.jpg 6 months http://i616.photobucket.com/alb...

i had tads too at one point in my treatment, and I can definitely relate to the pain and awkwardness while chewing/eating, I HATED them lol thank god theyre off now, i think i had them for about 3 months but as soon as they came off i was so relieved!!

yay for you!!! I have 6 days left after almost 17 months in braces, will you post pictures?! I am also scared to have them taken off, weird right? lol

I was wondering, what kind of retainers are you all getting? I was told I'd be getting an upper Essix and a permanent lower retainer. Everyone says to use RetainerBrite to clean them, but I was hesitant because it says that people who have Metal fillings have had issues with them staining their essi...

Does anyone else think that time has sloooooowed dramatically since they got their de-band date?!? I think I have the longest 10 days of my life ahead of me - it's all I can think about!!! That's how I'm feeling! I only have 9 days left but they seem so be going by soooooo slow. Hmmm the fact that ...

Yay!! I'll have mine off on May 10th! So excited and nervous at the same time

i think it depends on your teeth, everyones times are different and each case is so different that i think in order to accomplish what needs to be done sometimes it takes longer between adjustments. When i got my braces on, my 1st adjustment was about 5 weeks, the longest ive ever had to wait was 6 ...

Hi! congrats on starting your journey :) I checked out your picture, i think your teeth will look absolutely amazing when you're all done! I too had to have extractions, I changed my mind about braces the 1st time I was told I needed 6 extractions but after seeing 2 other Orthodontists it became pre...

i thought i was the only one! i feel the exact same way, one more month left and im going crazy in the mirror being so critical of my teeth and looking for any sign of imperfection. every one thinks im crazy and that my teeth look great but im still thinking my teeth look a little funny lol i guess ...

I think your teeth look great, I know what you're trying to say. when all my teeth were finally pulled down and aligned, As a result of all the crowding I had before braces, my right incisor looks so much longer. It had previously been sticking straight out. You can see much more of the tooth up by ...
