Metal Mouth Message Board

Here they are, at long last! Sorry for the long lapses between my postings lately. Work has been a real struggle, and will probably remain so until the first of the year. I'll try to do better -- I miss all of you! Gotta catch up on all your stories, too! Been a while since I took them, but what str...

Hi everyone, and thanks SO MUCH for the continuing support and good wishes! I really feel so badly that I haven't been around for a while. It always feels so good to communicate with all of you -- I feel like you're all great and wonderful friends and you make me feel GREAT! Lots going on around her...

Welcome to this amazing forum, Amber! As I'm sure you've already discovered, the people who post here are terrific, and are willing to help in any way they can! Presumably you're working with an ortho you can trust and communicate with. Sounds like you've got a bit of a road ahead of you, but you've...

Congratulations, Freakyteeth, on your b-day! I'm glad things went so well for you. Be sure and treat yourself well the next few days; you may be a little sore and tender (but you knew that, right?) -- salt water rinses, good hydration, lots of wax if you need it to prevent sores, and try and chew ev...

Karen is absolutely right on. Wow, talk about lousy customer service! I agree -- your ortho should know about the way you were treated. Who needs that with the amount of money you're paying? I hope you're otherwise happy with your ortho. Unfortunately some people -- apparently including some of your...

Wonderful pics, Strugglebunny! You're an inspiration

I've been trying to have my "mandadtory" cup of coffee in the morning but I'm actually down to about a 1/2 cup and considering quitting.

Not me No way will you get me to give up my coffee

Sounds like a great adjustment, Sandi -- wonderful news about your bite's closing up a little.

And congratulations on the oral hygiene Really makes you feel good, doesn't it, to get comments like your ortho gave you?

Great collage, Chillin!

The difference between your much earlier pics and the latest ones is striking -- both alignment and gaps

Looking great, MrsPhase! What terrific news about your upcoming D-day!

You're right, Mike -- really some pronounced changes there That's really got to keep you motivated!

Welcome to the forums, Blaze! It's great to have you, and hopefully you'll find the boards as helpful and motivating as I have. Looking forward to following your journey! Hopefully for you, as for most people, your discomfort will be relatively short lived; it generally lasts but a few days. If you'...

Welcome, Blaze!

Great to have you here. I've posted a more lengthy response in the Bracket Club section.

Much success to you!

Wow, Gracie, they look terrific! I can see why you're so excited. I hope mine turn out half as well!

I've found the same thing happens to me, (letters "s" and "f"), especially if I'm tired or I've been talking a lot and my mouth is a little sore. I don't know if you've had this experience, but I sometimes have a tendency during those times to not open my mouth quite as much. It ...
