Metal Mouth Message Board

Just woken up and feel like I've been kicked in the mouth lol! Oh well, no pain no gain and all that! My power chain is to close one gap and open another, it's all very clever how it works. My ortho said that I'm not having my bottom braces until my top teeth are pretty much sorted, so could be like...

Well this is about three months late!! Before I had my braces put on people kept saying the time will fly, and it actually has!! Thought I would do a 'proper' story post rather than the odd random post every now and then. I had my second adjustment today. I have a powerchain! It's only between my mo...

All of my teeth have had their wobbly moments. But then the next day they'd be absolutely fine. I have on tooth that is quite wobbly but I think this is because of the position of it against the bottom tooth which keeps moving it. I had a new wire on today and the tooth didn't fall out which I guess...

I'm glad the pains gone! Every so often some of my teeth get sensitive or my mouth sore but so far I can't really complain. Happy to hear about the coil! The sooner I get it (if I get it) the sooner it will be gone! I have my second adjustment on Thursday so I shall have to ask him about it! Can't w...

Congrats! Hope the pain from your braces has settled down a bit by now! My teeth are similar to yours, with my lateral incisor sat behind my canine/incisor. My ortho has decided to try and straighten my teeth slightly to start with, and I'm assuming I will be given a coil thing at some point to open...

I've had to have three teeth extracted because of decay, and I have an extraction appointment in a few weeks to remove a tooth as I need the space before my bottom braces to go on. Honestly, the worst part is the injection. I have a phobia of needles, so I just close my eyes open wide and pinch my h...

The spaces between my canine and pre-molars

So I have some pics... http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q565/ladybird365/19Jan1330-Copy_zpsa82cd7c4.jpg This was taken a few days after my adjustment (19th Jan). http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q565/ladybird365/23Jan131-Copy_zpsada85227.jpg This was taken today (23rd Jan) at about 8am. http:/...

The only change I can see is that my canine has been pulled down by 1-2mm. However I'm constantly feeling changes, I wake up some mornings and my mouth feels completely different. It was becoming easier to floss between two teeth, and my ortho told me I had a gap between them. But as they are my pre...

Hello! I know how you felt with people telling me my teeth were fine, that they hadn't even noticed there was anything wrong with them. I felt like screaming "are you blind?!?!". Lol.. anyway here I am with my top ceramic braces and metal bottom ones are due to go on soon. Hope you're not ...

I've been using Oral-B pro expert, and haven't had any problems with it until a few weeks ago. Whenever I use it, the inside of my mouth seems to 'shred'. The skin just peels off, and I'd wake up in the morning with bits of dead skin along my gum line. Or after brushing my teeth in the morning and I...

Hey! I remember getting my braces, I was so excited and nervous it's a strange mixture of feelings! Wondered if I was doing the right thing etc but now I have them on I'm SO happy I have them, I'm a lot more confident too as I hate my teeth but I'm actually doing something about it. You'll be having...

The ligs on top are elastic, can imagine the bottom ones will be too. My ortho asked what colour I wanted I was like ummm tooth colour please I not feeling that brace yet! I may experiment with my bottom ligs when I get them, I think colours on metal brackets look better than colours on ceramic brac...

Yay!

I hope you're not in as much pain as I am, this is so much worse than when I got the braces on too.

WOOHOO new wire!! The worst part was when he put the ligs around the brackets, I just hate the sound and the pulling sensation on my teeth. My teeth feel strange now, they're not as wobbly but I can't feel much pressure. He said my teeth have moved quite a bit, my pre-molars are moving back on their...
