Metal Mouth Message Board

I got my braces off yesterday :D I LOVE my new naked teeth i cant stop looking at them. Feels amazing to eat and not get food stuck lol. I have a fixed permanent retainer top and bottom. Hiw fo you all find cleaning and flossing with them? I am getting them whitened next week too, just a shade or 2!...

Thanks Jem, cringe looking back. Congrats on getting your braces off

Haha so true mapleleafman888. Can't wait to see the change.

Well I still have my braces, shouldn't be much longer now. Got a sneak peek of my teeth without braces at my last ortho appt . I will probably miss them when they are taken off lol. I have updated my blog with my progress.

Wont be long now until the gap between my lateral incisor and my canine ( I have been googling teeth names LOL) will be closed. I can't fit my tongue between the gaps anymore, so I am starting to realise how much I actually do that.

The end is definitely in sight now

Aww Thank You Anna5, you're very kind.

I can't believe how bad they were looking back at pictures. It will be amazing to have my wedding photos without being paranoid about my goofy teeth.

Wow Anna your teeth look great!!! You have made so much progress. How long do you have left until you have naked teeth?

Thank You Matilda.

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while, wasn't much movement. We also have a puppy now and are wedding planning. All very exciting . My braces will be off by then!

My teeth are back on the move again now so I have updated my blog with pics from all angles x

Good idea. I often ask a few questions but I think my ortho thinks I am rushing him if I ask too many questions. Thank You, he did say they will never be text book perfect as I have an uneven bite. I will still be happy with them. I'm not really sure as it has taken longer than we thought. I have at...

Hi Chichi. I also saw your signature in another post and thought I would have a nosey.

Your teeth are looking great. I dont know any wire sizes etc that I have, my ortho doesn't tell me, all I know is the wires are pretty thick now.

Hi Tlal23 congratulations on your braces, they look great. When I first got my braces it took a good few weeks before they were comfortable but after that it has only taken a few days to a week after each adjustment to settle. It definitely gets easier and you forget you have them. I was the same as...

Hi everyone

I have updated my blog if you want to see where i am up to on my journey. I think my journey will be a little longer than 2 years, but will all be worth it

All the best with your brace journey.

I have ceramic uppers and metal lowers. I wanted both ceramic but because of my overbite my ortho said I should have metal lowers.

You can hardly see the metal lowers. I chose metal coloured ligatures too so they are less noticeable than a bright colour.

Exciting. Do you have pictures? How are you finding having your braces?

Hi Braceforit Congratulations choosing braces, scary but definitely the best decision I have made. Very exciting and for me you have done the worst bit..... getting your teeth extracted ready for braces. I also have a large overbite (10mm) and had 2 top premolars removed. You know all the exact medi...
