Poll: Who has been in braces before and is in braces again
Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 10:37 am
I had braces once before and just got them on again yesterday-
I was curious to know how many folks have had them before and what caused them to revert back to getting them again.
Here is mine:
Braced 1st time - 1990s - 2 years or so (age: 14-16)
**Edited** - forgot that I had a fiberotomy at the conclusion of my treatment (to reduce movement from occurring again)
Braced 2nd time - starting 1-29-2007 (18-24 month time frame) (age: 32-34)
I didn't wear my retainer AT ALL the first time- I thought I was smarter than my teeth - I lost. Won't be making that mistake again.
I think straight teeth these days are like high school diplomas (everybody has them) - so I figured that I would get them again to improve my appearance and help keep my teeth healthier longer.
Let's hear from the rest of you who are in the second round of being braced.
