Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi Ken, long time no see! Yes, I am also still hanging in. Have gone beyond the projected date, only a couple of months so far, but we are tweaking getting the right side to "tuck under," and the left cuspid to line up more perfectly. I am beginning to worry about MY tongue being a conspir...

Hello oldasdirt :D I am in a similar boat-- started the braces journey at 4 months before my 65th birthday. That was last january 11. We are working on the lower 6 middle teeth, and have a couple or more months to go. Don't know why I waited until there was no insurance coverage -- probably too scar...

Hello Athena and others, Have just caught up on your story-- Sounds like you are doing really well! I will be celebrating 66 years maybe before I am done with my ortho make-over! We are running a little behind schedule-- now we are in the 14th month. It was originally estimated at a year because we ...

Hi All, Haven't been here much since September, although I would read a bit of your stories from time to time. Sounds like all of you are doing so well, even with the challenges you have been facing. And so many new stories-- I'll never catch up. Today was my 13th adjustment. This was supposed to ha...

:-1 Wow, nice to hear from you Granola ! I haven't received any update notices in quite awhile, and have been wondering about people. Too busy to spend much time on the internet as I am doing some teaching in a special community college senior enrichment program, plus lots of running around. Good to...

How great that you are off to a good start with the new ortho. I bet you will be happier in the long run.

Gosh Lisa, I haven't been around since just before your debanding. "You look ma-velous, darling!" Glad to hear that "life is good". Keep us updated on your upcoming dental extractions.

WOW, GUNTER! What good news. It seems you have accomplished such a lot in such a relatively short time (although not short to you, I'm sure!).

Been really busy and haven't had any time to visit the site. Looks like a lot of new activity. I had my 8th adjustment on September 10th. Same wire with a couple of small jogs in it just before and after the lower right cuspid, and a wire tie on the bicuspid next to it. This time Mark forced the wir...

Looking great Dagwoman, I like the lavender.

How fantastic Nancoy,that you have done so well in such a short time. Looking forward to the pictures. I had my 8th adjustment today and still have a ways to go. Good luck on the rest of your treatment time.

Victor, I lost track of your story for a few pages, and now look at you!! What an amazing change since February.

cwatt, just seeing your inspiring pictures for the first time. Isn't it a tremendous boost to see those changes in the mirror! Looking forward to more progress pix.

Wow, nearly a month gone by again, and I haven't been here in a while. Must be having too much fun! How is everyone doing? I have been around off and on to others' pages, but not responding. Anyhow, I had my 7th adjustment last week, Friday the 10th. Mark still pleased with the progress, but backing...

Hi Ken, nothing much going on lately in my mouth, it appears to be settled down for a while again. I just find the chain a real irritating food catcher on the left side where it isn't attached to any brackets for a couple of teeth. Did you have a blast at the hot rod show? I can just imagine...........
