Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks Martin! I am pretty worried about staining but I can't give up everything. I am addicted to red wine, curry, tea and coffee all of which i was told to avoid! I did quit smoking prior to bracing so am quite relieved with that one. Work at 7 too- understand coffee need completely!

Yay! Am on my way to the coffee shop now so!

Mine was 5700 (euro) not including 200e for extractions and a possible few hundrerd more for wisom teeth extractions later on. On top of this you have extra cleanings etc. I would check out all hidden costs as a quote of 5200 is not 5200 full stop. I can get up to 3 brackets replaced free, and any s...

Have cermic braces since Monday, was told to give up tea coffee red wine etc... easier said than done! If I have one cup of coffee will it cause staining?

Hi Hannah, went looking for your story! just saw your pics for the first time(page 10 i think?) I have the same gaps at at the mo- don't ya just love it!?! Your teeth look great -Well done you!

Hi there everyone! I decided to start keeping a little diary here to keep track of my little braces journey! Some of you know me already because I've been mooching around the site for a while, but for those who don't I'll introduce myself properly. I'm 22 years old, and have hated my teeth for as i ...

Hi guys, got the teeth extracted and am now (half) braced. The extractions were awful really! After numbing me the dentist said that my premolars were so long that extracting them may leave a hole between my mouth and sinus' that he's have to stitch up. I nearly passed out when he said it, but lucki...

Hi everyone, just thought I'd let you know that today is extraction day! :shock: In four hours i'm geeting my 2 upper premolars out, which is, I feel, officially the beginning of my little journey to the perfect smile. I am looking forward to getting the braces on on Monday, but this is the day I ha...

Thanks again guys, and well done ReneG you brave soul! I'm feeling more positive about it now. If I wasn't going away sure I'd have to go to work so it makes no difference! just keep thinking that this time 18 months I will be gorgeous!!!

Hmm, he didn't offer an alternative like that so i would say it's out. if it was at the front of my mouth I would ask , but I don't really want to complicate things unnecessarily. I'll just have to grin and bear it excuse the pun!! Anyway, dilemma no.2 - just discovered I'm going on a surprise weeke...

thanks guys, glad I'm not alone! I was thinking that they might be like that TumbleDryLow (only visable when you smile) but was not looking forward to not smiling for 6 months or whatever it takes till I feel presentable. Glad that you're like me ReneG, we can go through it together! I have to get t...

Hi there everybody! I'm new to this site- so new in fact that I haven't even go the braces on yet! I'm getting extactions in a week, ceramic brackets (upper and lower) the week after. I'm 22 years old and don't know anyone my age with braces. I'm terrifed! I've got the usual "your teeth are fin...

Hi there! Just wondering if anyone has experience with extractions being visable?? Am getting braces in 2 weeks, but first have to get 2 teeth extracted- the first premolars. Unfortunately this has to be done, as the main problem with my teeth is the fact that my two upper canines stick out a lot an...
