How old?

#62 Post by Betty Bat »

Got them on today at age 53. Hope to be 54 when they come off.

This is part of a sequence of: left-over baby tooth and wisdom tooth extracted then braces to straighten things out before dental implants to replace two baby teeth that didn't have anything underneath. One baby tooth came out at age 12 and things have been shifting around because of the space. The other baby tooth lasted until age 53 (!).

I'll be 36 if it takes 2 years (and I am focusing on the outside time so that if they come off early then I'll be very happy).
