Hi all! I'm 33 and have decided to take the plunge and get braces to correct my teeth and bite. I'm leaning toward the Clarity braces instead of metal. If anyone has these and has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!
I'm getting two uppers extracted on the 23rd then the braces put on September 2nd. I'm nervous but excited as I have always hated my smile. I'm glad I found this site and don't feel like the only adult out there with braces!
Hi I am so glad you decided to take the plunge and get braces. I am getting mine upper ones put on August 15th. I will have the clarity one on top so I will be able to tell you a little more once they are put on. Welcome to the site. I hope your journey with braces goes well! Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer them once my braces are on!
