Metal Mouth Message Board

Your teeth are coming along well. Good job!

Welcome!

OP, did you get around to talking to your Ortho? If so, how did it work out?

I hope that you found some resolution.

This thread is encouraging. I will get braces in the near future and keep reading about how painful the first month can be. Good to know that some people sail through the early days with minimal discomfort.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Congratulations, Matilda!

I was told that I need to have two removed before I get my braces. I have some anxiety about it, but I know that it is for the best.

I haven't gotten braces yet as I am still doing my research on them. I will say that the thought of having to wear rubber bands is kind of disturbing to me. I have a fear of swallowing them.

This thread kind of lessons my rubber band swallowing phobia...a little.

I am in my early forties and this thread gives me hope. I look forward to getting braces in the near future. I am just trying to do my research right now.

Congratulations to all!

Sorry that you are going through this. I have no experience with this kind of thing, but I do recommend that you consult with a lawyer.

Good luck with everything.
