Metal Mouth Message Board

I noticed the price is the same for silicone or "regular" wax when I check on the web. I don't think I have tried the silicone ones yet as the only one my ortho gave me is the regular ortho wax and the ones I am able to buy is also the same.

Progress since braces.

Just got my molar bands yesterday. Man! They are annoying!! No pain but they rub against my cheeks and the inside of my tongue!! They are waaaay in the back and it's so hard to reach it with my fingers to put the wax over the irritating parts!!

Beautiful smile ms charisma!! I just got molar bands and new wires yesterday. I'll update my no pain post in a bit with pics.

My spacers were put back in.. I have to wait as the banding process will take 30-45 mins and they only had a 15 min slot to put the spacers back in.. Guess I'll wait until the 16th...

My next appointment is on the 16th, to get my molar bands.. I was told to come in. Heading over there after work.

It's been almost three weeks since I got spacers.. I guess the space got so big that two of the fell out while I was chewing... It's grossing me out to know that I have two plastic spacers floating around my GI tract.. Grosser still, it's been in my mouth for three weeks.. Imagine the things that's ...

The first time I had braces I experienced a lot of pain. I couldn't even eat chicken noodle soup. This time around I haven't experienced any pain. A little discomfort when eating but that's about it. I've seen ALOT of progress so far and no real pain. I am excited. My dentist always laughs and says...

I had to throw it out only used it for 3 weeks. Went and got another ortho brush.. been using it for 3 days now.. so far, so goo...

Happy 3-month braceversary to me! My braces are boring right now... nothing hurts, nothing seems to be moving, and I'm eating (almost) whatever I want. I was like that the whole time i had my braces, then this monday, my ortho told me that he needs to band the last four molars and slap some blue sp...

Hi everyone! I just passed the six month mark in braces, and am thrilled at the progress of how a hidden incisor has steadily made its way forward, and thought I should share my pictures in the interest of others in a similar situation! I have Damon Clear uppers and metal lowers. that's awesome!!!

Just got braces a week ago, all brackets even on my molar which has a crown.. I wonder why they left my last molar a lone?? I just went for my first month "adjustment". Ortho put in some blue spacers between my last two molars for bands in 3 weeks.. I guess I was not lucky enough to avoid the space...
