Metal Mouth Message Board

Wow Faerydust!!! Great progress and so fast too. You must be delighted

Hi all, Sorry it has taken me so long to post. I haven't been keeping you up to date at all! I had my first adjustment last week. All went well and it was only a bit tender for a couple of days after which was good. I didn't get the bottoms on. She want's to align the tops more before she puts them ...

Hey Jenny, I think you have great progress there! That back molar really did snap right into line with the others. As for your front teeth ... you can really see that your top arch is rounding up ... I think that's why you are getting temporary overlapping. I've read a lot of other posts that say it...

Welcome Emma :-1 Good on ya for getting the braces. It's a hard decision to make but feels great to get them on and get everything moving. I have metal braces too. Only the tops for the moment but in another couple of week I will have the bottoms too. I can see changes happening and it's so exciting...

Yay elpi .... they look great! :-)o How are you finding them today ... not too sore I hope. I have the triple wire set up across my extraction site too. My canine is high up and needs to come down and back towards my molars. She said that was to give it an extra helping hand. My ortho didn't mention...

Great pics Jenny
Full steam ahead! The full metal mouth looks good

I hope it's not too sore for you over the next few days.... Keep us updated with how you're finding them.

Faerydust - My first adjustment is on May 8th and that's when I get my full metal mouth too :) I got my tops on 3 days after my premolar extraction but that was only one tooth so it might be harder to manage it with more. Salt water rinses are great for keeping infection away. I still do the odd on...

You're teeth look amazing Kara
I'm so excited for you!! What a great feeling it must be seeing all that movement

Thanks for stopping by my story

I have to agree with you about biting into things. It's not that it's sore.... it feels weird or something

When is your first adjustment?

Hey twinie :lol: Oh do try pink .... they look really good on ceramic brackets. I think there might be a picture of them in the coloured ligs post in the metal mouth forum. I have to say, the old teeth are doing pretty well! I can pretty much eat what I want too if it is cut up into bite size pieces...

Thanks for stopping by Jenny

The ligs are fun but they have definitley faded in the two weeks that I have them. I think it will have to be hot pink the next time

Thanks for stopping by my story Jenny

Here's to some great movement in the next few months

Yeah we're in the same boat at the moment. I get the bottoms on on May 8th which is my first adjustment. I really like having the time to get used to the top guys first. Breaking us in gently :HugeGrin: I was doing loads of research before I got them and I really liked the look of the damon 3 with t...

Hi Jenny, Great pics! You can definitely see some movement! I think it's fascinating watching everyones progress. You're a few weeks ahead of me.... I just can't wait to see some movement :D I read your story before I went to get my braces on a couple of weeks ago and had the same waiting room situa...

Hi Faerydust,

We have the same b-day although I only have my tops on for now.
I have a lonely top tooth that feels really left out too.

Nice pics .... looking forward to seeing your progress!
