Hello everyone! My name is Liz, I'm 21 and new to the site. I just got braces for the first time on October 3rd, 2007. Just had my 3rd adjustment today, not as bad as I thought it would be. They replaced both wires and put loops on the top wire to make a little more room, hope it works out
Welcome Liz!
I actually forgot the date I've got braced.. sometime at the end of September 2007.. many adjustments ever since, the last one really painfull ( I don't mean to scare you ), but happy to see progress, maybe I'll post some pictures in the future..
Lol, forget what I said about this adjustment not being so bad, once I woke up this morning I could really feel the soreness from the new wires and the loops! Oh well, you know what they say, pain is beauty!
There's a wealth of information on this site.
