Metal Mouth Message Board

I agree with Miss Smiley!! Why do you need braces?!?! Your teeth look awesome! I know how you feel about the progression of treatment! I didn't feel like mine was until I got my uppers on...now I actually see some changes! I can't wait till you get your lowers on. Then you will be an official metal ...

I totally know what you mean!! I always look forward to all my appointments. When the receptionist books my appointments, she always asks "3 or 4 weeks?" and I always tell her, "3 weeks please...the sooner, the better!!!"

WOW, Katt!! Your teeth are definitely coming along very nicely! Your lowers look great! How's the power chain coming along? Did it stain alot? My clear ligs on my uppers stain very quickly...but my ortho. doesn't have the pearl color that I keep reading about on this forum.

*melissa* : DH can mean anything–darling husband, dear husband, damn husband etc...LOL... Thanks bracedagain and Katt ...I can definitely feel them "moving" now. After getting a new archwire on my uppers yesterday, man my top teeth ache like a B%*#H right now...I haven't had solid foods...

Congrats on finally getting fully braced! They look good! And now the patience begins while we wait for changes to happen in our mouths... How are you feeling today? Getting used to them yet? I have stopped using wax during the day to help "toughen" my cheeks up too...only use them at nigh...

Soooo true about the dry mouth feeling!! I felt exactly the same way when I first got braced...that's because I am not a big water fan! But since then, and after many people telling me that I should be drinking MORE water, I caved in and try to drink water as much as possible. I also got a BIOTENE p...

Yeah, I can't believe that you need to be braced for 3 years! Maybe your ortho. was just being on the safe side by quoting you a longer treatment time. I think I have more overcrowding than you on my lowers and I was quoted 20 months. I hope I get done sooner than that though!

[quote="bracedagain"]Hi missfashionista , No, I'm still a good boy! :shock: Not just a whole lot to report yet. Some closing of my front gaps is about it. My side gap is being stubborn tho. That is the one that my ortho wants closed before I get my tongue habit crib. :? My next adj. is nex...

Can't wait for you to get braced and see your brace pics! Congrats on your decision on getting braced. It's the best investment I made for myself!

jenny101101 , *melissa* and Beckster , I am soooo glad you guys are seeing some changes! Coz I look at my mouth every single day and I even ask my DH the same question every day, I am not able to track the tiny changes happening to my teeth. At least now I feel like there is some progression in my ...

Miss Smiley : I don't really know for sure if my upper wire has straightened out or not coz this is a new archwire that got put in yesterday morning...feels really tight and snug this one. It's making my teeth ache! I think I should take a picture of when I get a new archwire and the last day I am ...

Hi Ken!! You have been a bad bad boy...you haven't updated your story in a while! heehee...how has everything been coming along?? I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for visiting my thread!

Happy 1 month anniversary, although abeit late. And can you pleaaaassseee tell me why you need braces???? Your teeth are sooo nice and straight!! I guess it's the perfectionist in you? J/K. You have beautiful teeth and once those braces are off, they will be picture perfect! Your lavender/periwinkle...

WOW!!! I can see movement! Your top arch wire has straightened out a bit. Hooray for you! So nice that your teeth are cooperating with you... I love your purple ligs too...I think I will choose that color next time I go in for an adjustment! Your teeth are so nice and white too by the way. And I, li...

Hi SGPWired , *melissa* , bracedagain , michelle005 and Katt !!! Thanks for visiting my thread (again, for some). I am not sure what is going on...but the forum is not notifying me of new posts!! So sorry for my late reply... Yes, the waterpik is doing it's job...I do like the squeaky clean feeling ...
