Hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm so excited to be getting braces I'll have my first post with my story

I'm 17 and the ortho told me I'd have them for a year and a half. Which is good but I'd have them through first year of college. I don't mind, I'm really excited about them.

I've had spacers on since monday, so annoying to eat with them. I'm a big eater and I've eaten less than my girlfriend this week! She's excited for me too by the way.

So at 2 I'll be getting braces on, I've thought about my lig colour. I'm assuming they're called ligs. I've been reading the forums and my guess is ligs, sorry if I'm wrong =P I'm thinking about getting a light blue colour, with black.

I'll post again once they're on, wish me luck. I heard it takes awhile to get them on

Oh! A picture before my braces. I have a cross bite in the back that you can't see

Good luck and welcome to the group!

How did it go?

My new braces, went well. Though, both my stomach and the ortho's stomach were growling and I had the giggles.

I don't feel pain at all, must have been the spacers that helped

The ligs look nice. Is the darker colour blue or black? Glad you're not in any pain, although it's possible you might experience a bit of soreness over the next day or two once your teeth start moving. Everyone's different though, so hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones!

The colours are baby blue and black. At first I was going to go for halloween orange and black, but I'm a blue liking guy

Congratulations! I'm in spacers right now so in two weeks I'll be where you are. Can't wait.

Thanks! I'm not feeling much pain. Just the odd ache

Trying to eat ramen right now, feels so weird!

I like your lig colors. Let us know if your light blue ligs stain.
