I'm all smiles! :D Well getting the braces on went far better than I could have imagined. They're hardly noticeable and the discomfort hasn't been so bad, I'm just waiting for the inside of my cheeks to toughen up. Only needed wax once, a bit of neurofen but thats all. I have to say, compared to wha...

great pics! i'll post you some of mine soon, we're busy eating maple syrup pancakes. My best friend came around with the goods to cheer me up, and I couldn't resist...

So far so good, looking great

hullo, it's almost time to go to the appointment, I'm just enjoying a coffee in peace now that I've got my daughter off to childcare. It's so nice having a day off during the week...I could get used to it! Lovely picture of the labyrinth! I went to a hedge maze for the first time the other week, it ...

I'm getting my braces on tomorrow too, but my appt is at 11am so I get to sleep in. I'm meant to go into work afterwards, but if they hurt I might treat myself to a sickie, and ice cream!

I didn't get spacers...I didn't even think of that until now.

Hope it all goes well.

Well the braces are going on tomorrow, 7th February. The aim is to fix the problems caused mostly by the last braces I had, about 10 years ago. That a midline 5mm offcentre, root resorption on 5 teeth and a problem with my jaw. This is from another one of my posts, but its basically how I wound up a...

hi roadster I'm 29 and I'm gettting my braces (for the 2nd time) 1st week of feb, so I'm a newbie here myself. You're braces look fantastic, I hope mine look as good. I don't know what brand of brackets they'll use but the ones on the upper teeth will be clear. Last time I had the retro railroad tra...

hi rach. I'm 29 and I live in adelaide. I've had braces before when I was 17-20 and I'm having them on again in early feb. Having braces never stopped me meetin guys, but I was a bit of a flirt back then :D I'm getting married in a week, I hope my fiancee doesn't mind braces, I've never actually tho...

you poor thing, what a horror story. i can relate somewhat, i had a bad experience when i was a teenager, my folks were paying for it all so I had to go through with what the ortho convinced them was right, which created more problems than what I initially had..which I wont go into here! Now 10 year...

I am 29 and about to get braces for the 2nd time, someone should start up a support group for us guys who have done it all before. My apologies if someone already has, I'm new and still finding my way around.

hey, I'm 30 on February 21. I can't wait to be 30, I'm so over the 20's! Like you, I am missing an adult tooth, the dentist had to pull out heaps of my baby teeth when I was 12, they never fell out, and one just didnt grow back. If he hadn't pulled it, would probably still be there, the roots on the...

Hey I'm a newbie too, I'm getting my braces on in early feb. I had them when I was 17, I'm 29 now so this will be the 2nd time. I wish I was excited, I'm dreading it, I'm eating as many mars bars as I can. Congratulations on just finishing your degree! What a great treat to give yourself! I just fin...

I'm 29 and I'm getting braces again in early feb. I'm getting married in a week, so I'd thought I'd leave it till after the wedding. I'm 30 at the end of feb. I had upper braces and a lower plate when I was 17 to 20 (1994 to 1997). I'm not happy about this, I'm seething because I can't afford it. Th...
