Metal Mouth Message Board

Going to the ortho again tomorrow... A bracket came off sunday night -- the one on my furthest back molar on the top right. The strangest thing was that it broke off when I was eating super soft KFC mashed potatoes. I mean, I guess I could understand if I was chewing on rocks, carrots, or something...

Highlights of my Second Adjustment 1. Noticed my favorite friendly receptionist was not there (I swear she has the nicest voice in the world.) I hope she was just off for the day. Instead, there was another chick that couldn't get my name right. Boo. 2. I asked about my teeth feeling loose. I told ...

Lol, you ate a bracket? Jeez, I was complaining about swallowing plain old wax, but a bracket. Yikes. Hope the rest stay intact :o .... and hey! I just realized we have the same March 11 Brace Day. You're my brace twin somewhat. haha. Let me know if you come across any other march 11 bracefaces. Un...

Hi Emma. Just like you, Wanting to have a beautiful smile in my wedding photos finally pushed me to see an ortho too. Now I'm gonna have to push back wedding planning, but at least I'll be fully smiling. You have nicely shaped teeth now, I'm sure your smile will be so fabulous at your wedding! Oh a...

Thank you Danish, Bekah, beth1966, *melissa*, Eva, kittymeow84, Braced32, and jenny101101 for your comments and encouragement! You guys make my day! .. My Elastic So a while ago, I forgot to wear my elastic all day. Okay, okay, its more like I didn't really want to wear it. So at night I decided to...

Fabulous blog and pictures. You've really given me an idea of what my ortho has planned. I have a major wayward tooth that needs to come in line with the others, but there is barely any room right now. Sometimes, I feel like its an almost impossible task to make the space. Nice to see your pics and...

Thanks for visiting my blog :D I have clear ligs btw. Last time I went in for an adjustment they had turned nasty yellow at the 2 week point. I chose to have clear again this time too, but I'm currently insanely careful about colored food. I'm doing a good job so far, but I'm gonna see how this goe...

Thanks for visiting my blog :D Yeah, I really hate my elastic. It goes all the way across my mouth. Its supposed to fix my crossbite, which frankly is the very least of my teeth issues. I'm grateful though, I forgot where I saw it on AW but there is a post showcasing crazy elaborate elastic configu...

Just read your entire blog. Good thing you never settled for one ortho opinion. Thats so cool that your ortho didn't have to extract at all. Now, we kind of have the same treatment for similar bung tooth issues then. Isn't it crazy how orthodontist can expand room for so many teeth. Miracle workers...

Congrats on being braced! I love that you refer to your tooth as Wonky Tooth. Its one of my favorite words. I totally remember the pain of accidentally bumping my newly braced teeth. Just thinking about it makes me flinch a little bit. Its gonna be rough for the first week, but hang in there. Kiwi ...

Just stopped by to check on your progress. I can see a gap! how cool! Things are moving for sure. It looks like from your latest pic that they also took the long coil spring out! I'm so jealous. I hate having my coil spring. I wish the space would magically open up so my canine could come down now!...
