Almost 40 with braces for the second time.

I'm new to the boards but every time I had a question not quiet recalling certain things from my first set in 1996. This board kept on coming up so I decided to join.

Class 2 deep bite with 80% ocusion. Seriously my current orthodontist kept on asking me if my bite was actually corrected the first go around. Oddly enough my teeth are still very straight just over the last few years my bite shifted significantly. I'm in in-ovation braces this go around and a bite turbo with no contact of any of my teeth till my bite adjusts back.

Hi! Im nearly 40 with braces on for the second time as well, 25 years after having them off, I needed them again for overcrowding.

I had three teeth removed in 1990’s and the ortho just said to me “you should have had more removed”. So hes “working with what they did”. Oh boy!

Best luck to you in your treatment 🤐

Hey good on u for taking the plunge how is braces this time around harder or easier?

I suspect easier, less chair time, small brackets, better wires and shorter treatments.
