Metal Mouth Message Board

So I've had my retainers on for 3 weeks so far. I'm adjusted to them pretty well. I still have a little bit of a lisp =P No braces!

Aw! thank you ^^ How are the retainers going?Hawleys are metal right? I'm pretty used to the clear upper and the bonded doesn't cut my tongue anymore. The one thing about clear retainers is that I put it down after i clean and lose it! so I spend my whole entire night wandering around looking for it...

Congrats to us!!
You're teeth look great!

Enjoy your free of metal teefs!

Happy D-Day to Jaswi and I! No more braces! So I went in early morning on the 15th. They first took off my Brackets and then the bands. Then they glued in my bottom bonded retainer. I'll have that for a couple of years he told me. After that they polished off the excess glue from my teeth and I got ...

oh cool =]]
what part are you from?
im from western

Sweet! We will have to celebrate!!
My B-day is July 6th.

I chew gum all the time.. It doesn't do anything.
In fact I've probably broken every rule on the NO-NO list, but never broke wires bands or brackets and I've always had good feed back from my ortho. yay!

But yeah I probably wouldnt chew gum with hard coatings with thin wires.... Or whitening gum.

The first time I got powerchains they hurt really bad. Towards the end when your getting ready to get your braces off, powerchains dont hurt at all =] They hurt because the roots are straightening up rapidly. But I guess it depends on your pain tolerence. Isn't it surprising how gaps can close in ma...

It has definitely been a long time since ive been on here! I still have my braces on and its been almost two years. I get them off September 15th and I get my retainers the next day. I'm pretty excited I guess. The only thing that upsets me is that I will still have to get jaw surgery. Boo. Braces ...

Well! Its been 8 months and so many weeks and days but tomorrow at 8am I finally go to get my expander off! I look back on the experience I had and it wasnt bad at all. I'm pretty sure getting it off wont be bad, but I'll be excited not having to get food stuck anymore! I'll take pics today and whe...

Well! What do I have to say.. I've been so busy and I'm sorry I havent told anyone about my progress.... I get my expander off April 17th. My teeth on the top are pretty straight and I have had my lowers on since Febuary 22! I havent had any progress on the bottoms because they havent tightened the...

Wonderful progress! I'm glad things are going good for you and I hope they go great as your smile improves everyday! How's the speaking going for ya?

I've had my braces on for a month... A couple of weeks ago I got my donuts changed to red and green and I have a power chain on my front four teeth.. I was quite surprised on how much my teeth straightened in only a few hours! I go for my first adjustment on Jan. 9th... at that time ill get some pi...
