Introducing myself

[HeavyMetalNZ]

Hi guys, just got mine on Friday so could say i'm still getting used to them. I thought I was quite a late bloomer getting them at 28 but surprisingly it seems that is when the majority of people on this forum get them! My ortho says i'll have mine on for atleast 14 months.

Just had a 3d scan and dropped it off to the Orthodontist also, i had a couple of baby tooth removed and there is a large gap on the bottom incisors area now where the canine would usually go, this canine is impacted sitting horizontally on the bottom jaw - i hope to hear back soon with good news that it can be moved. She said if it can, it'll probably be a few months but she has to assess the feasibility of this a little more. Will also be getting a lower wisdom tooth extracted at some point in the future. Health insurance doesn't really cover this stuff in New Zealand so this will all end up costing a fair bit but i'm so glad to finally be getting all this sorted. I first wanted to do all this just over 10 years ago when I turned 18 and am now in a position financially to take care of myself :)

Not sure how to post pics but I'll put some up when i figure it out.
