Metal Mouth Message Board

A question off topic...how do I place more than 1 ticker in my messages? I tried to paste two and 1 got erased.

Just got elastics and my teeth hurt alot.Can i eat with these things and will the pain go away soon?

Going to ortho Tuesday.

Where do i find avatars the right size for this message board? I found ones i like but they are too big.Anyone know a website where the avatars are not too big for here? Thanks

I got power chains on top teeth and on the one tooth, the powerchain keeps popping off.They are a pain.Also i had a gap,then it closed and now there is a little gap again.What is going on?

i have alot of pain on my lower gums.It feels almost like an abcess would but it is not an abcess.Like the bone is really sore.Is this from the braces or not related to it at all? It really hurts.

things will get easier

Good for you.That is great news!!!

I havent had elastics yet.please let me know how things go incase i have to get them.

I have self ligating brackets and am now wearing powerchains.I also have little hooks on my brackets in case i ever need elastics.

I use whitening toothpaste even though it doesnt make much of a difference.

Glad you are feeling better.Guess this journey comes with some pain now and then.

I dont even have a choice of lig colors.I have self ligating brackets.The only color I have is my powerchains.

38 yrs old from Pennsylvania.In braces 7 months now.

Im in speed braces so i dont go often.I go every 8 weeks which is nice.
