Metal Mouth Message Board

do you have to get molded again ? ( hawley retainers.)

nice.

i get mine off next week.

i was told i was almost done a year and a half ago and i'm still in braces, so i wouldn't hold your breath until you have an actual date for debracing.

it's very tiny it can only be seen if i suck in air.

what should i do?

it's been 2 years and 2 months, and i am always aware of my braces, people who say you'll get use to it are wrong.

i feel the same way.

i'll be putting my veggies in the blender, and my protein will come from ground beef and eggs.

7 months i think?

i doubled the elastics.

Would it deform or change my arches?

And is there any side effect where a bone graft mutates changes my jaw? I wouldn't want that.

Yeah I have the same issue, they push my lips forward which I hate! Though it's better now than it was during the first few days. I just keep telling myself everything will go back to normal once they're off, and I'll look even better! :) whenever im at the mirror i always push my lips in to pictur...

what does it do, does it bring the lower arch back?

^so are you wearing power chains on right now?
