I'm 28 and will be getting braces in 8 days. I go in tomorrow (1/7) for spacers, get 4 teeth extracted on Wednesday, then get braces on the 14th. I must admit, I'm scared. I didn't realize how much drama there is in getting braces!!
I’m with you! I got my spacers put in today, and one has already popped out so I’ve got to go back tomorrow to have a new one put in, and I get my braces on the 22nd. I’m nervous but also so excited to fix the problems I’ve had with my teeth for six years. I think whatever discomfort [lol] and issues pop up, it’ll be worth it in the end.
BUT I still shake like a leaf in the wind whenever I’m in that waiting room ^^

Thanks for your support! I'm recuperating from the extractions and doing OK. The worst part is that I can't eat...but that's good news for my waistline. I can't wait to get these spacers out!!!
