Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks! Yes I'm pretty happy with the results. Still getting used to the new look though. Funny I've seen people mention that other people didn't notice when they got their braces off but I've had it mentioned all day today.

I went in today and the assistant asked how everything felt and if I had any concerns. I pointed out the gap and the ortho came over a little bit later to do a final check to give the go ahead for debracing. She looked at it and apparently the wires and rubberbands made it hard for me to see, she wa...

Scheduled to be debraced Friday!! Yesterday I noticed a slight gap opening up between my right lateral incisor and canine teeth. So far it's very small and I noticed it because the black triangle has gotten a little bigger. The gap had been previously closed by the ortho a couple months ago. Does an...

Lalaloo, Just read your blog and I can tell some changes in your teeth already! Looking good!

Here are the rest of my current pictures.

It doesn't smell the best but the only thing that's stopped my chronic chapped lips is Bag Balm. You can find it in the pharmacy area.

Looks awesome! I'd take that "imperfect" result any day!

Well… I'm dying to know what you decided to do!

Awesome progress in such a short time!

WOW! Your 6 month results are amazing! At least your ortho agreed there is a "problem" so you don't have to do any convincing.

Wow! Everybody's progress looks awesome!

I am also doing a non surgical treatmetn of an open bite. I had four consults and two out of the four orthos said surgery. I'm about 1-2 months away from debracing and am very very happy with how the elastics have worked.

When I got mine a couple of co-workers asked about them but it was mainly people who had been braced themselves. Heck, I'm in full time elastics and I don't really care about them anymore.

Yea! I bet everything continues to get better as time goes on!!
