This is my exciting journey, about getting braces! Which I need and have ALWAYS wanted! Because my teeth have always been ugly, to me. I am going to try my very best to keep this blog updated, as-well-as a vlog, I am doing, on my progress.
I am 31 years old. At age 16, I had braces, but, after two years, got them removed for finacal resons. Now, that I can afford them, I finally had them put on, to get confident about my smile.
At my consult, my orthodontist (who is really amazing), told me I would need braces on top and bottom, to close the spaces on the incisors. I also have a tooth, that is turned sideways, from the previous ortho treatment. My ortho will have to eventually cut away some of my gums, where the gum has grown and make it, so it grows straight, instead of sideways.
Treatment time is between 18-24 month. And permanent retainers on my top teeth and bottom. As well as removable retainers. It's a pretty simple treatment plan.
I got them on, on May 6,2013. I also got spacers, between four molars, on my bottom teeth. So, in a week, my ortho can add bands to the molars. I chose to have traditional, metal braces put on. Not because of cost, but, because of all the concerns with the other ones. I just wanted to stick with what my ortho was firmiar with.
