Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi Denise! :-1 I know I've been gone forever, and I'm so sorry :oops: - but I just caught up on your story and checked out all of your new pics. I had to post and tell you how you've made such wonderful progress, and it's fantastic you will be naked soon! Congrats, and don't be nervous!!! The end is...

Your teeth are looking really amazing, Denise ! Your arches look very rounded out and from the pics everything looks very straight. Good that you are prepping yourself for another year, but it doesn't look like there's that much left to do! I'm sure if I got in and really poked around in your mouth ...

Hooray for early adjustments! :jump: Sounds like your progress is coming a long, and how great that Josh is almost done! I'm sure you won't be too far behind him. You'll have to take a picture of both of you with big naked grins! :BigTeethGrin: Glad you had a little bit of rest before the games star...

Yay! More elastics!

Sounds like a good appointment as far as progress goes, but pretty lousy as far as the tech goes... I'll cross my fingers you don't get her again, that sounds awful!

Can't wait to see the pics!

pearls , if you DIDN'T have these worries, you'd be in the minority! :wink: Your concerns are totally normal, most of us went through the same thing, and some of us continue to go through it from time to time while in braces. It may not sound like much now, but you have to hang in there, because in...

Sorry to hear you are having retainer issues.... I don't have a hawley, so I can't say for sure how they are supposed to sit in the mouth, but if it's soming out when you talk, that doesn't sound right. I'd call and make an appointment, if nothing else it will give you piece of mind!

My retainer instructions were to wear nights only, so that's what I do. I notice a bit of snugness when they first go in, but it's gone within ten minutes or less. Sometimes I don't notice anything at all. I have noticed there is a difference if I rinse them with lukewarm water or cold water; the co...

I haven't been on the board in a few weeks, and I come back to such wonderful news! Congrats - your teeth look amazing!

I STILL have dreams about my teeth... and other people's teeth...

Most of them since being de-braced are my teeth reverting back to worse than their original condition; as in, I have teeth growing out of the middle of my mouth where my tongue is supposed to go!

Denise you're uppers look fantastic! If I look closely at the pics I can see the triangles you are talking about, but as far as alignment goes, things look great. I'm glad to hear your bite is feeling different - as long as it means better! But really, your progress is coming along so well, you mus...

Oh no! Powerchain pain!

I hope you start feeling better soon, having sore teeth can just throw your whole day off....

And your oatmeal sounds yummy! I love Craisins!

Hooray! Continued vacation from elastics!

Sounds like a great quick appointment, and yes, I'm sure that powerchain will make itsself known over the next few days... but that means it's working!

Can't wait for the next update, and oh yeah... where are the pics???

Wow, Rage , have you had a chance to, oh, I don't know, take a breath will all that you've had going on??? :shock: I don't know if I've ever been that busy! Glad you are enjoying yourself playing hockey, even if you team hasn't been doing their best lately. The classes you are in to hone your skills...

Denise, your treatment is going so well! And I'm so glad to hear you are pleased with your progress and excited about the results you've been having.

Hooray for you!

What fantastic news, Denise!!! Isn't it amazing how quickly powerchains work? I'm so glad your gap closed as quickly as it did and you are back to a beautiful smile!

Can't wait to see the pics!

Oh, and congrats to Josh that he's nearly done!
