Metal Mouth Message Board

They literally said, "We're going to get braces for you." Parental guilt, I guess, for not taking me to the dentist when I was a kid. So yes, they owe it to me. It's definitely a delayed obligation, but oh well. At least I'm going to be getting braces :D Well, I would just make sure you a...

Nice Progress

I am in damons also and they have worked great so far!

Hey Martin!

Yeah, I have actually been following your story and I asked you a question about that one tooth but you never said anything back , lol. But, no worries

Thanks for checking out my story!

It said I did not qualify after only two questions haha

1. I have braces
2. Have had them for 7-12 months

and thats as far as I got lol...

Lame...

Like Andromeda said, the only time I hear of anyone having braces for 6 months is when they have Speed Braces. I could maybe see 6 months if someone had a gap in their front teeth and no bite problems or any other gaps...but I dont know 6 months sounds unrealistic to me if you want to know the truth...

I was wondering the exact same thing! I thought that once your teeth were perfect you had to wait a couple months for them to settle and then you get the braces off.

If thats the case I don't think I am going to be done by my estimate...

I think your teeth look great! I don't understand why you are trying to have your upper and bottom front teeth touch in that picture...what is that showing? I know because you have invested so much time and money you want to have everything 100% perfect but sometimes its just not possible. People ar...

Speaking of brain farts, haha, j/k KEN !!

I am so jealous of your brackets! They look so good, man if only I could go back in time!

Thanks Andromeda! I hope so badly I can get them off at 12 months but I am trying not to get my hopes up. I went into the ortho today to get my wire clipped, AGAIN!! They didn't rebond the bracket :evil:, but I figured they wouldn't. I was just happy to have that pokey wire gone. I am going to eat t...

Your teeth are looking so great!! I can not wait for mine to have major movement!! Thank you so much Kayleigh! I really saw dramatic changes around 3-4 months so it shouldn't be too long now that you see big changes! Nice progress Megan! You're only one day ahead of me :) . How much longer do you h...

Thanks for the info Wireless, helped a lot!!

P.S.

I know I am 8 months late but thank you MARTIN and LEAGER for the kind words!


Also does anyone know how to change the topic of my braces story?? I confoosed...

Wow! I completely forgot I started a braces story. I can't believe 8 months have passed already, although, somedays it feels like its been 8 years! So far so good. My teeth have moved so much it is amazing. I took me 8 months to have my first "catastrophic braces incident"! Haha, I thought...

You may want to consider asking to have your top 6 brackets and wire removed the day before the wedding. There have been several posts on this website regarding temporarily removing braces. I wanted my braces off at exactly 12 months and was told that, that was a possibility, but turns out I will ne...
