Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey again :) (Thought I should say hello in your thread :mrgreen: ). Mmm bonjella. I popped some of that on last night. I seem to be getting a single ulcer right in the centre at the bottom. My cheeks feel a little raw but they're not nearly as bad as I thought they would be (unless I talk too much ...

Lol. I wouldn't be worried if they weren't going to hurt for a few years! Mine started killing about 5 hours after having them on. Last nights dinner, despite being very overcooked mushy pasta was excruciating and so far today all I've managed is to swallow some risotto (a very runny risotto and I'v...

Hi Ciara :) I got back about an hour and a half ago. Feels SO weird! They feel huge! They look as good as I could have hoped braces could look though and you can't even see them from a metre and a half away :) Good luck with getting yours on!

I too had a baby tooth (upper molar) that was extracted last week (I was told to leave it there until a week before the braces went on) and also have a few other teeth that never grew. I empathize with the worry! ...

I have the opposite problem to you, not enough teeth in my head

Hopefully the pain will ease for you soon

Hi everyone! I am all set to get my braces on tomorrow morning and the nerves are setting in. I'm getting damon clear self ligating on the top and clear lowers as well (also regular sort, not SL).
