Well, after about 3 months of first comming to this board I now have a date for my brace fitting - 06 November 2006.

Im excited!! I'm scared!!! Will I look ugly? Will people stare at me in the street? Will I be in pain? Will I have a lisp?

Ok, maybe I have more than one question!!!!

My main problem is that I have a top tooth that is set back behind the rest, but is trapped behind the bottom teeth. I am going to have to have my bite raised to give this tooth a chance to come forward. Has anybody had this done? What is the procedure called? (my ortho didnt really seem to have a name for it!)

Thankyou so much to everyone here who has helped my decision to have this done and thanks in advance for your replies.

THIS WEBSITE IS FAB!!!

Thank you so much! Think I was being slightly paronoid about the staring bit!

You've reassured me x

I met with my cousin for the first time since 'installation' about two months after having braces and we were chatting for about an hour before I said something about my next appointment and she asked for what, and I had to POINT OUT my braces lol

I have full metals and bright teal ligs, its not like I was trying to hide them!

You will be fine

I talked to a gal at work about an hour before I went to the ortho today for some work, she asked how long before I was getting braces, and I had to smile and say that it had been a month since I had them! And I thought everybody knew.I guess not.
