Metal Mouth Message Board

Such great movement in such a short time! Good for you, your teeth are looking great!

I don't really care about my midline either (It is about 1/2 a tooth off center), but my Ortho really does! My midline is the last thing needing to be fixed, so I want it to hurry up and move, already! LOL...

My adjustments are always two months apart. I have had my braces on for a year, and have been to 6 adjustments...

I was braced before having my wisdom teeth removed.. I was anxious to get treatment started because my bite/tmj was causing unbearable migraines. Anyway, I don't think having my top wisdoms removed hurt any more with braces than without. I still have my lowers, as I have a sensitivity to anesthesia,...

Hello Archwired!! I haven't been on the boards in a LOOONG TIME!... (Family/Health issues that were long-stemming kept me from the internet)... Anyway, my face has changed A LOT since getting braced, and my ortho warned me it would. I like the change. My cheekbones are more pronounced, and my bite h...

Hey Ken!!!!

Take Care!!

Rage!!! WOW! A lot has happened since I have last been on... You finally have the headgear, and I have to tell you that I am so proud of you for being brave and doing what is best for you. I'm sure you look fantastic while rockin' the headgear! :) And, don't let the Ortho's comments about progress g...

Hello everybody! It has been a pretty long time since I have last posted. I ran into some health problems, and am happy to report that I am better now, but it has been a while since I have been able to get on here. My wisdom-teeth extractions went well, although they only took two out and I have to ...

Hello Everyone, and thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement.... I need some advice.... I had my consultation with my oral surgeon today, and he gave me two options for the removal of my wisdom teeth: 1. Local Anasthetic (11 shots of novacain in each area).. 2. Genreal Anastesia (Put to...

Hey Ken! A million kudos for getting a thumbs up with the cleaning... It's a fantastic thing to hear compliments on all of the hard work that comes along with being braced... And, I'm sorry to hear that you will be in braces a little longer, and that they have found some pockets, but you have a grea...

Hey Rage!
I am so happy for you! Congrats on your big wins!
You are one talented athlete..
We'll miss you while you're gone, too..
Have a safe trip!

Hey Linda! Great to read about your adjustment, and happy to hear that your teeth are being cooperative about moving. I, also have never heard of "kank," but I think that my teeth might do the same thing...:) I have no idea what my time-frame is... as I've only had them a month, who knows?...

Your teeth are looking great and healthy...
Keep up the good work, and thanks for the update!
