Doing it again at 35

#1 Post by loengard »

I, like so many here, had braces in my teen years. I then had my share of dental problems and am in a long restoration process which I finally started 14 months ago. Now, we're to the braces part of my treatment. I'm only going to need them for 12-18 months this time, though, so it should pass by pretty fast.

So, on Thursday, I'll be 16 all over again.... I already have a pimple, too.... Oh well...

Welcome.
Then you know how the game is played. I didn't have to wait very long for my secound tour in braces.
I got my first set of braces at the old age of 38 and just one year after finishing treatment I'm braced again.

Well at least I know what to expect. :-)

Welcome loengard!

Never having braces as a teen, I got braced at 34. It was the best decision ever.

Best of luck to you!

Why would you need braces a year after having them??? I am officially freaked out.
