Metal Mouth Message Board

Has your pain gone away yet? Mine have finally started to feel a little better. I can at least bite food with my front teeth again. That took a month and a few weeks. But they still hurt, not sure they are doing what they are supposed to. The dentist said the wire would eventually work it's way out ...

oh! I wonder if it was the bonding. It was kind of a chemical taste. I think it's started to go away, I haven't woke up with the taste in my mouth for the last few days. Thanks, I hadn't even thought of the bonding from the molar buildups.

I'm not sure, never sucked on a dime. I guess I'm not really sure what it tastes like, seems to come around when I haven't eaten lately. What's the dime taste from if it were that?

I had that exact same thing. The biting my checks at night! I hated it cuz I'd wake up in the middle of the night in pain! I went in for another problem to get fixed and in doing so they had to build up the molars even more then they had the first time. Once they built up the molars even more the p...

Hey, So has anyone else had a weird taste in their mouth after they got braces? I have the porcelain braces and I was thinking maybe that's what the weird taste is? I don't know what else it could be? Any ideas?

We definitly all have that. My dentist has been telling me that they have to remove and put back on brackets as the treatment goes on just to get the right placement. Not sure if that's normal or not? Have you had that yet?

I brush at work after I eat and I don't have a private bathroom, it's one that I share with customers, co-workers, everyone. It doesn't seem to bother anyone so far! It can be a pain in the butt, but you gotta do it!!!

I keep seeing people saying proxy brushing, what does that mean?

Amazing results! So exciting to have them off I bet! I'm only a month in and I want them off!!

Oh how painful!! That assistant needs the pain inflicted on her to experience the pain and then maybe she'll be nicer.

They are looking great!! You must be excited! How much longer do you have them on for?

Wow, beautiful!! You must be so excited!

I guess it could be normal, the dentist could barely even see it when I asked about it. I can see it plain as day tho! haha I know, because it's my teeth and I noticed it. My thing is, I can't tell if I can feel it because it's there and it's in my mind that I can feel it or if it's just the braces ...

This is round two of having braces which I have now had for about a month and a few weeks. The first round took 6 years, the ortho decided it'd be best to put on braces before I even lost my baby teeth, which I guess turned out fine. My teeth looked great! Unfortunately this was back in the days tha...
