There is nothing to worry about! I think we all understand that anxiety, to me the worst thing was to imagine the reaction in other people (boyfriend, friends and even people in my work - i work with children!)... but i can assure you that i had no problem, everybody was truly supportive and even made jokes about the situation!
You will love to have braces, because you know that, at the end, you will have a smile even more beautiful!
I don't know if you have this level of worry...
I talked to my doctor about this same anxiety when I was going for braces and asked him for help. He was nice enough to prescribe xanax for me. I only used it when panic mode seemed inevitable.
