Metal Mouth Message Board

Neova, don't be discouraged. You will be amazed the number of us on this board who are on their second go round with braces. I had braces 30 years ago when I was fourteen. Didn't wear my retainer, pregnant 2 times and that is when my teeth really moved. I am happy to say that I am on month 15 and th...

Hey Ken! Rockin' rides you got there. When I was a kid back in the 70's my dad had a 65 Mustang convertible that was orange with a white top. WE LOVED THAT CAR!!! He sold it to someone and they fixed it all up and we still see it in parades. Makes my DAd cringe that he didn't have the money to do it...

Hello, I haven't posted for awhile now. It seems that things have gotten super, super hectic and have been dealing with a lot of things. But I had to post and tell you all that my teeth are really starting to look straight to me. It seemed like forever that people were telling me they looked good an...

Thanks Ken!! I feel like they are looker straighter. That's a good feeling.

Hello, I just had my 7th adjustment. Everything is going well. I am wearing an elastic at night just on the left side. My ortho is working on my bite and closing the gap. I got hot pink ligs this time. I am not thrilled with them actually. Oh well, there's always next month!! :D The assistant gave m...

How does it feel to be braced!!! You're on your way now. It will be over before you know it. I just had my 6th adjustment and the time has just flown by. Good luck!!

Sorry to hear about your sore toofs! I feel your pain. My teeth are really sore after this last adjustment, but getting better every day. Take care. Lori

Miss Smiley, Iborg--thanks for your kind words. My husband is a resourceful man and has decided to break out on his own and start his own graphic design business. He has been doing graphic design for the past 17 years and doing freelance on the side so he does have some clients from the moonlighting...

I went yesterday for my 6th adjustment. My ortho is now working on closing my bite. I have to wear one elastic on my left side at night. Yesterday I ended up with a migraine after my adjustment. He told me that I would really feel it on the left side. :shock: He was definitely right!! Hard to believ...

Yes, I think that your teeth look really good! Talk to your ortho if you are unhappy. But seriously, I think they look awesome!

Hey Kara!! Your teeth look so great!!! I can't wait to see how they progress. It's amazing itsn't it how fast things go!!! Talk to you soon. Lori

Hey Ken!! I think your progess is great! Good luck with the tongue issue. I am a tongue thruster as well Let's start a club. TONGUE THRUSTERS UNITED!!!! Keep up the great work and it will all come out in the wash. Does that date me a bit? Lori

Kara, your teeth look WONDERFUL!!! I am sure that you are thrilled with your progress!! Thanks for posting on my site. I appreciate the support and kind words. Take care, Lori

Had my 5th adjustment yesterday!! I got some GREAT news too! My ortho said that this is the final wire I will have on top. the last jump I had (which hurt a lot) was the biggest jump, but for the most part it sounds like, that my top teeth are where they need to be. He is now working on my crossbite...

Adjustment #5 is tomorrow!! After my last adjustment I couldn't hardly blow my nose and my teeth hurt :shock: !! I will post pics and let you see my new colors. I chose light blue last time and I really liked the looks of them but they have faded a really ugly light green :? Not pretty. I think I wi...
