Congratulations!! I got my uppers today!!! :)

Mine will be on, at least the uppers...on the 25th!!
Congrats!

Lucky lucky! To be able to get braced at 19..I wish I had done it that young...but maybe I'll be more disciplined at this age. Maybe it's b/c women talk about their experiences more, get braces in larger numbers, etc. Anyway, take heart, the prime of your life is coming! :jump: (And I have a male My...

Jessiemae: How long is your sentence and what will the surgery do for you?? I never liked my teeth before but I didn't dwell on them. Now that I am on my way to having teeth I thought I would never get.........I can't wait to have my teeth "unbucked" :-9 It will be a time to celebrate :ba...

I procrastinated for years about getting braces but have had it with my low self-confidence...it's time! I never...

Well, you couldn't have said it better...I feel exactly the same way. I just turned thirty and I'm finally ready to get braced, I've needed them for 15 yrs! Please don't let another day go by w/o making an appt. with a general dentist or an orthodontist. It's been a month, but I hope you see this an...
