Metal Mouth Message Board

$5,800 for 24 - 30 months sentence...er, uh - treatment.

I was required to have my wisdom teeth removed in order for my braces to be applied.

I had to be put to "sleep" for the removal of FIVE wisdom teeth . Some of the biggest teeth I have ever seen. My recovery was painful, but I was back to normal after five days.

Very Nice. How long is your treatment supposed to be?

Too many sins to name, but I will list the most notable:

1.) I eat Snickers
2.) I eat Snicker Ice Cream Bars.
3.) Twix
4.) Pecans (religiously)

I have clear powerchains, and as long I stay away from red colored foods they stay clear for the most part. Typically my powerchain does not begin to yellow until the third week after it has been applied.

Welcome! I am a newbie as well (long time lurker). This board is very informative - you will enjoy

It can be painful at first, but once you adapt to it - it will be smooth sailing.

GOOD LUCK to you, Pandac!

I have had my braces for a little over a year, and have not had too many wire changes. However, I just take an aspirin eat something for that day and the pain normally dissipates the next day.

I got mine @ 29, and have one more year of this torture.

30 here - I have been in braces for 10 months...

All of these look awesome! I am jealous - I have been in braces for ten months and I feel like I have seen no progress...
