Metal Mouth Message Board

Actually I will have to post a pic a little bit later... my gums are still all swollen and I dont want to post a pic of the finished product until it is all done!

Can we no longer edit posts?

My braces came OFF today!!!! Woooooo.... I am still getting used to the
new smile... its strange to me, lol. I will post up some pics later tonight!

My ortho was great I got balloons, candy, gum, a nice beach towel and a blanket... all sorts of great stuff. It was really nice

I am sick and tired of braces now! It will be two years in March and I just want them off! I had surgery way back in april and they are still on. It seems like not much is happening every month I go in... I have had a stupid little gap for like 3 months now. And then we had to get the back teeth on ...

I have had no problems with my braces and going down on girls. Kissing works great just as usual too... No complaints yet haha

When I ride I always wear my helmet... Helmet have literally saved my life twice... no kidding. Without them I would be dead.

Plus its your own little world in a full face motorcycle helmet... I sing and have a great time inside there... its like a party

Thank you all :) I do have a before and after profile comment but I really dislike them... ugh.. You can see a pretty big difference though. I will try to get them posted up sometime. Its finals week tho, yikes! The ceramic braces are kinda nice in some pics its hard to tell they are even there. I'm...

Your gonna be so happy when your done! Lots of movement already that looks great! Reminds me of how exciting it was when I first saw movement.

Pretty much every time I have gone in to have something done there has been some soreness and tenderness afterwords. I've had my braces on for a year and 8 months now I've felt just about all of it... Yes a lot of the stuff hurts me too. What really hurt me the most is when they put rubber bands on ...

Hi all. It's been awhile since I posted here but I have braces and have had surgery to advance my lower jaw. I felt the need to let everyone know that getting braced was one of the BEST DECISIONS I have ever made! Those days of being afraid to smile and feeling self conscious ALL THE TIME are gone. ...

I had mine advanced like 5mm i think... I was in the hospital overnight... My swelling was really bad for a few days then it just looked like I was a little fat for a few weeks, haha. I got some interesting looks. I was numb for a month or two but now I'm better than new

Its not a horse... but I was back racing and riding motorcycles in 6 weeks or so. At first the helmet was extremely painful because it put pressure on the joint but a week or two of that and I was good.

I am a fast healer tho.

Hit the whiskey... Haha, totally kidding that would be a really really bad idea. I was not nervous because I have had some other surgeries that have been much worse. There is a little pill (maybe like xanax?) that my surgeon gave me one time... I can't remember what its called. Its great though give...

Thanks for the advice I have been way busy and have not had a chance to get on here or fix this problem yet... but the total is up to 28,000 now... I gotta find that paper. The surgeons office got the paper as well. I hope I can find mine... ugh I should not have to do this. I will update as I learn...

My OS got an approval notice and I did as well. They have covered some of it but me having to pay 15,000 out of pocket is not what I would call covered. My OS was in network and the procedure was approved... I dont even see the hospital bill on my insurance invoices... all of these were billed like ...
