I'm in this club, too! I get spacers in on Jan. 5. and braces fitted on Jan. 18. It will be nice to have a group of online comrades to go through the experience with. Best of luck to all!

I too am supposed to be braced in January! I am currently having a problem with a tooth that won't settle down after having a crown placed in December (I have the permanent crown seated temporarily, and am afraid I'm facing a dreaded root canal), and hoping it won't delay my brace date.
Uppers placed 2/8/06--Inspire ICE ceramics
Lower (stainless) placed 2/23/06
Treatment time: 17 months (estimated was 12-18 months)
Debonded: July 11th, 2007
Next appointment: June 2008 for retainer & nightguard check

I'm getting mine on Friday 13th too. I am scared, but weirdly the closer it gets the more excited I am that I'm finally doing something about my teeth

Good luck to everyone getting braces soon.

My 1 year anniversary - Jan. 10th is coming up and it really doesn't seem like I've had my braces on for A YEAR ! Hopefully I will get them off in February.
After the brackets were put on I thought to myself - OH MY GOSH what have I done ! But after a few days it gets better and you get use to these things being in your mouth.

Good Luck Everyone !!!
Braced on 1/10/05 - full metal- woo hoo!!
Braces coming OFF 5/31/06 !!!

Thanks Karen,
My brace date has been pushed back to the 31st now because I need spacers put in first - they're going in this Friday. I'm hoping they aren't too bad because I have a date the next day!
It's so great that this forum exists. I feel much happier about the whole experience knowing so many other people are doing it too - even if most of you are all the way away in the US!
