Metal Mouth Message Board

Things are so moving along with your treatment well! I am sorry you had that much pain. I hew sugar free orbit. It has helped a lot and one little piece so it relieves some pain but won't get tangled in my braces. My ortho said I could :) Yeah I am not looking forward to Tuesday and the possibility ...

YAY for the color and wire change! You are moving along great :) I am dreading my August 19th appointment because the hubs says he thinks they will brace my bottoms, They have been my savior for eating :) Your teeth are looking great hun! As for the insurance, it would have been so nice had they jus...

Nice! good luck

Ouch! That just sucks that you lost that time and effort over such a thing. I am glad they figured it out and things are on track. Sorry you are in so much pain

That would be awesome if they did a cleaning :) Mine just did a typical brace day cleaning. The surfaces were cleaned but not scraped and such like my dentist. There was a rough paste stuff, then a blue gel. My teeth were dried and the bonding glue put on. The brackets were placed, and the Ortho cam...

Looking great!! I would have done a huge happy dance knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Your smile is beautiful hun!

My xrays consisted of me standing there, an ear peice attached to the machine went into each ear and the machine arm went around me. Took a minute or two. My molds took about 10/15 minutes each tooth was scanned. It was really cool to see a 3D model of my teeth on the screen. There was not a whole l...

It is flying by. except for the bad days, those drag on
