The braces were my birthday gift to myself. Top ceramics...not sure what the lowers will be (30 Nov). It's been a journey, and I'm so glad I've found this site. It has been a tremendous help to us newbies. Thanks!
Happy Birthday vak103!! And congratulations on your new braces! I got mine 6 days ago, and they are going to have to be my Christmas and Birthday present (probably for next year too ), but I'm sure it will be worth it.
Are you going to have them professionally done or use the whitening strips? I used Crest Strips before braces and I could definately see some improvements.
Happy birthday! I love the concept of buying braces for onesself for Christmas or a birthday. As for me, I'm hoping my Christmas present this year will be that my left front tooth aligns with my right one. It's allllllmost there....
