Metal Mouth Message Board

Sometimes I wish I would have metal on top and bottom. I have clear on top..metal on bottom. I am loving all the fun colors that everyone is doing! I think it would look funny ...wanting the clear on top...and add color to them! Just me...but maybe someday I will do color on top too!!

Samoorelaw....Thank you for your reply. I appreciate knowing I have nothing to be concerned with. That is what the ortho's office was telling me...but the reassurance helps!!

This post as nothing to do with the color of my lig...just the missing of one! I was brushing my teeth last night..and felt something on my toothbrush. It was a lig,,,complete..not torn...or cut or anything. I really have no idea which tooth it came off of. I called my ortho's office this morning, t...

Scraggy....best of luck tomorrow. Let us know how you are when you feel up to it. We are all thinking of you.

It will definitely be worth it! Just remember...almost everyone that post on this forum....has some sort of "dentist phobia ". :oops: So you see you are not alone with it. Look forward to the end result ..a beautiful smile...and a definite self esteem booster! The night before...I am sure most peopl...

I am more than impressed with both of your before and after pictures!!

New sun glasses!! I think you have a nice smile!! Not sunken in that I notice!

Bikerchick....very sorry for your loss. No reason for you to apologize for anything. It is not an easy part of life for anyone.
I have never heard of this curve. But I have it too!! Thanks for enlightening me on this!

Welcome! By this time...your braces are probably on. How are you doing ? This board is great for support..advice...and a great place to just vent!! Good luck with your journey!!

I agree with everyone! I, too, would hide my smile with my hand...or just a smile without my teeth. Now that I have braces....I smile WITH teeth all the time!! And a real smile..makes me feel happier...if that makes sense!

Happy and content.

1. I LOVE the glasses! To me, It looks like you have a thin face.....not a sunken look. Just a thin face...and nothing wrong with that at all. Only thing that is missing....is your smile! Honestly...your face looks fine to me. With only seeing in picture..and not knowing the difference from past pic...

I bought a pack of those the other night....I must not be coordinated....I could not get the hang of it! I gave up

When I decided to get braces....I figured I would get metal. I have to admit..I did not do much research on braces before I decided "now was the time". When I went in for my consultation , my ortho said" most adults want clear." Then he showed the model of regular and the clear. I liked the look of ...

I will put my question here. I just had my 2nd adjustment...and no wire change yet. Anyone else have their first wire for awhile ? Or are they usually changed by now ?
