Hiya, great idea this!
Had spacers in 25 Jan
Had 4 molar bands and to upper brackets 2 Feb
2 teeth out today! (7 Feb)
2 more out on 12 Feb
Braces in on March 9 (although am hoping to make it sooner...)
Ceramics upstairs and metal downstairs, although it could be ceramic on both.
Am 37 year old mum of three who is finally doing something about her wonky smile!

31 years old
One spacer for 5 days
Top arch braced Jan 30 (all metal)
Bottom arch will be braced Monday the 12 (one band on permanate crown)
Projected treatment time: 30 months with lower jaw surgery to extend my jaw and fix my open bite sometime in the middle and then a handful of implants to finish me off.
So far I must admit, has not been too bad. Hydrations is very important!! Must avoid the scratchy mouth... My top arch wire started poking me last week sometime on one side but a little wax is helping with that. I can't wait until Monday to get completely braced.
