congratulations on getting braced!

I was 23 when i finall...

thanks for the warm welcome KK and Flora2006!

I got my braces april 1 of last year, and so far there has been a huge change already on my teeth. my lower teeth are almost done, but i've got a fairly big overbite. so right now i've got gaps on both sides of my two front teet...
