Metal Mouth Message Board

Your story sounds super similar to mine :) I also prepared a lot before I got braced, my "kit" was stocked up well. I was also quoted 24 months about, but I'm way ahead of schedule. I've been braced for 3 and a half months and my teeth went from pointing in each and every direction to bein...

Thank you for sharing your experience on your blog I am 33 and am scheduled to be braced in March :( seeing how you got such amazing results in about a year gives me hope! Hello! Thanks for the message! I, excited to you to begin your journey! I haven't even been braced for half a year though, I'm ...

Thanks! Super excited to see the end result, albeit 20 odd months away (hoping I am able to somehow reduce time by not a day over 18 months). Here's to wishful thinking!

Compliments of the new year to you! So tomorrow marks 3 months since I had these bad boys fitted and I am so happy with the results thus far!!! so much movement in 3 months, I never expected this, here's hoping the fast movement continues and I can drastically reduce my sentence behind bars lol! The...

Hi all! So I'm a week shy of the 2 month mark and whooooh I've had some serious movement! I'm wondering if this is at all normal, my teeth have shifted so quickly I'm very surprised, one gap is almost closed. Got to big gaps that might take a while. So I was told 20-24 months :( Struggling with flos...

Had my first of many appointments today! All that was changed was my awfully stained ligs. Now rocking pearl on top and teal at the bottom. Dr is pleased with movement and had put me on elastics 24/7. From canine to molar. The changing of the ligs was very uncomfy for me as my teeth are so sensitive...

Hi everyone!! 3 days short of the official 1 month mark, but I'm 4 weeks into treatment and look at the progress, I'm sooooo super happy!

No ways! Your teeth look fantastic! So much movement in such a short time, I hope mine is as successful

Wow you've had p,entry of movement! Congrats! Looks good. Tomorrow I hit the 3 week mark and I have seen quite a bit of movement but when I compare pics, it doesn't look like much has happened which is strange. I can actually feet certain teeth are in different positions. Good luck on your journey, ...

Awesome!!! Yeah those first few days really suck! I know what you mean! It does get better, I promise. Some days I have no bothers, and some days there is a slight irritation, like today, the bottom front brackets are annoying me. It really helps chatting on here as everyone is understanding I've no...

So true, it becomes more manageable day by day. I've just reached the two week mark and I feel much more settled in them

How exciting, all the best for your journey! Hope its a good experience, with amazing results.

I also haven't told anyone, luckily most of my friends work out of town so I haven't seen them yet (I'm two weeks into it), hoping for results before they see me

Good luck, keep us updated!

Here in SA they cost about R25 000, invisilign is double the price but luckily I didn't qualify for that due to the severity of my teeth.
This is why I left my teeth for so long, I couldn't afford it.

And finally invest in a waterpik and lots of wax as they will become your new best friends YAY!!! The journey begins! And we're a few days apart so keep us updated as to your progress. I definitely recommended the waterpik (the one I have is called an aqua flosser though, they don't sell the waterpi...
