Metal Mouth Message Board

As a Operating Room Nurse I am swore to secrecy about the things said during surgeries

(let me reassure you any nurse would not let anything demeaning or harmful happen to her patient while undergoing surgery)

lmao PARR

I am one of those persons who has had an extremely hard time with the popping in and out of the wire on my Smart Clips. At my first adjustment I had a lot of very wiggly teeth due to movement. It hurt like heck when they took the wire out and put in the new ones. They do have to be snapped in. I was...

TsuKata your right it will bother you more then him. I guess all I can tell you is will get better as your mouth gets more adjusted to the braces. I still do get some uncomfortable moments though, and I try and adjust my lips some.
Hope this helps some.

lol Lisa, yes pics would be nice. At least after hearing of your sucess there is hope for me too.

Rainy

Wow fitchick, you give me hope. My overjet is 12 mm at the start of my journey. Did you have surgery? teeth removed? Do you have your story posted in the braces journey forum?

Rainy

Thankyou everyone :) Yeah I needed the R&R after last week. The teeth did not hurt after a couple of hours. They are still loose but I am not sure if its as bad, its hard to tell with the archwire attached. I went to see my dentist 2 days ago, as when I had my cleaning he seen a spot on a tooth ...

Hi and thankyou Pokergirl. I found that post and downloaded the questions.

Wow what a week this has been on the teeth front for me. Tuesday was the day for my first adjustment. I took the day off of work to make it easier on myself. 1220 pm I go to the ortho's office to get my wires removed. Now it had been 7 weeks since I had my braces put on, and the past 3 weeks have be...

Well I was at Walmart yesterday and picked up some of the flavoured ones. They were only a $1.97 each package. Let me tell you they are not easy to get out. They are in a "push thru the foil type" of packaging. They seem to get stuck coming out. You then end up peeling foil off of each pie...

lol Parr that was my exact thoughts watching it also. Hopefully people about to get them on will find it good. Not so much unexpected that way.

Well in the teeth front. I had gone in several weeks ago to get the wire clipped on my upper right. It also turns out the entire upper wire was sliding over. :( The assistant put it all back then put a crimp in the wire just before the buccal tube, so it wouldnt slide anymore. Funny thing is I feel ...

wow nice teeth, makes me have something to look for in my future... oh and yeah that would be the Bluessssssss Brothers
