Metal Mouth Message Board

Looks fantastic! THAT is what everyone of us on here are hoping for.

Well...adjustment 3 is over. Still no wire change. I now have 4 more wire ties. More pressure than anything. It was very painful when he was pushing on my teeth doing the wire ties. He tightened the wire ties on my top front teeth. With all this....I am hoping to see some movement these next 6 weeks...

I have my 3rd adjustment tomorrow afternoon. i have traditional clear on top and metal on the bottom. I am almost 4 months in my journey. I have my same wire I started with. 1st adjustment I asked if they were going to change the wire. I was told no because that wire has more work to do. 2nd adjustm...

Welcome back!!

That's what you get for having it so easy when you first got the braces on!



That is exactly what I am afraid of!! Had no real pain in the beginning.....but I have a feeling my fair share of pain will find me soon enough!! LOL

Thank you Sunshine Ray......I have my 3rd adjustment next week. I am anxious to see what will be done this time!

Hi, I am 56. Clear on top and metal on bottom....and glad I did it!

Welcome!!

Nice to hear from you...I wondered where you have been! Your teeth are looking great! I am so envious of your smile!! All in due time!!
Glad you are doing well!!

I feel my braces more than I have in the 3 months I have had them!! Could it be movement that has changed my mouth so much that I am feeling them more? My cheeks are sore..my lips are sore! Not terribly...but this is the most discomfort I have had!

You must be so pleased with this!! I am excited for you! I am only 3 months in...and all of a sudden it feels like nothing is going on anymore. So....with your great success....I am hoping will be heading to improvement also. Your smile is gorgeous!!

Welcome...and good luck with your journey. This is a great place for suggestions..advice and awesome for support!!

3 months in....and I have never had any of this......not sure if I should consider myself lucky..or left out !

I agree with all of the above!! Look great!!

Congratulations !! It was a long journey...but very worth it!! So happy for you!!
