Metal Mouth Message Board

I had 2 surgeries. It's fantastic. I haven't had any real issues.. I had my ortho appt this morning and looks like my bottoms will be de-banded in the next month!WOOHOO! No one in my "real life" seems to be excited at all about this. I did not have surgery for my upper expansion.. however,...

I saw your question earlier! haha I was searching trying to find an answer. I know they should overlap some but this is a little much. They kind of poke out a little more then I expected. I guess I should try and get a pic on here so that people will know what I'm talking about. Thanks for trying! I...

I'm almost 2 years into treatment.. I've had 2 appliances on the top, the expander and then another one that pushed the front teeth forward. I always assumed this was to make room for my impacted canine.. I also had my lower jaw expanded. I'm closing in to having naked teeth. I've got elastics now. ...

That's the truth.. I stopped doing that too. haha It's funny how they stop looking when someone says that.
I'm ready to get on the move.. we've got 3 different practices tonight and starting next week we add in a 4th. I'm thinking of checking into cloning but I think it's still illegal. lol

Thanks Denise! I'm pretty excited about my progress. It's nice to be able to look at them and SEE a difference. I'm jealous of being room mom. I've been debating the past few weeks what I want to do. It's really starting to hit me that the kids are getting big and I might be missing opportunities w/...

I went to several orthos before I found my current one.. he's the first one to give me the option of TRYING to pull down the MIA canine. I don't regret one bit waiting until I found him. I've had great luck in bringing mine into position. I understand this isnt the case for everyone though. I think ...

My goodness Denise! I leave for a few months and come back and look at you!!! Those are some BEAUTIFUL teeth!! I'm so excited for you! I can't go AWOL anymore. I'll miss your debanding! haha Glad to hear ya'll are still hard and heavy at the baseball.. we're starting fall league now. I've got one in...

Hey Miss Smiley! I haven't been on the boards in a long time.. sorry to hear you've had it rough.. No worries though, this too shall pass.. I posted new pics today so go check them out. I'm going to do my best to be online at least once a week..

Hope the camping trip was GREAT!!

Okay I haven't been here in forever.. I swear my life is getting so busy I don't even know where the time goes. Ortho said last week that we're just holding on the top for now.. we're going to wait and see how things work out w/the bottoms so that we can make the bite right before we de-band.. the b...

The MIA tooth has made an appearance! This weekend she broke the skin and I have the tip of a tooth poking out! I've never been so excited about a new tooth. I don't go back to the ortho for another 2 weeks and I'm crazy busy so don't have much time to post anything.. I don't even have time to read ...

Hi Denise! Just checking in.. I figure you're probably like me and don't have a ton of time to come on and post these days. We're in full swing w/ball and it's got us hopping from one place to the next.. We had a tourney last weekend started Friday night and ended Saturday.. We made it to the champi...

Hello to all! Just back from my ortho.. It was a good visit but a little disappointing.. I got a new power chain but in the same spot.. I got some new underties but that's really it. I can tell a little soreness on my MIA canine that is coming in. It's pulling alright. haha That's a good thing thoug...

Man, I hate I missed the first few days of power chain. They're torture but I wish everything worked like that. You're teeth look so good. It's so exciting to see the differences. How much longer do you have left? Baseball... hmm.. we've got one in softball and one in baseball. I'm right there with ...

WWWHHHEEEEWWWW!! I'm finally back. Man life is crazy around here. My boss had a new baby.. He was out on paternity leave. One of the ladies in the front was sick and out for a week.. Other boss had new grandbabies so they're out for a few weeks. To top it all off BASEBALL IS HERE! haha I'm officiall...

Wow Kara!! That is some amazing progress. I don't know where I've been that I hadn't come across you before. I can't believe your teeth have moved so much so quickly! That's so great.

Can't wait to see what happens in May!!
