After a bit of lurking (oops) I have finally registered as my treatment is going to get under way soon hopefully.
I had my consultation and I will be having 2 upper pre-molar extractions and then upper and lower ceramic with tooth coloured wire to start. My ortho will be using INVU which I have looked everywhere to see an image of someone wearing but can't find diddly-squat! Not even on the official site

Then reshaping of any teeth as needed after discussion when braces off.
Anyway, I am nervous - I am 32 and hated my teeth for as long as I can remember. They aren't terrible but they aren't great - middlin I guess!
My ortho has been great as I have bombarded her with a hundred questions as I have found this site to be a great source of info/help and prompted me to ask questions.
And so to my daft question! I am so worried, that after treatment (which is expected to be 18 - 24 months) that my teeth won't look right.
Because they have been in their positions for so long I am worried not that I would look odd with straight teeth but how they grow, position just won't look right. I hope that made sense and I know it sounds a silly question but it is my main bugbear.
My ortho has said she can do this thing where she takes impressions of my teeth now and can simulate the final position and fit of my teeth using models which I will obviously have to pay for.
I keep thinking well, they can't look any worse!
Well, hope I haven't bored anyone - in the least I have raised a chuckle with my odd worry!
I am in the UK and am looking forward to chatting with you all here, it looks like a great place - so glad I found it!
