I finally got the braces on and you know what they actually look quite good! All metal on both top and bottom. I will be in treatment for approx. 30 months and I am looking forward to the changes. Unfortunately, one of my molar tubes already fell off so I have to go back on Monday to get that repaired. In any event, I'm excited. I'm just worried about my changes in diet. As usual, the info on this site is wonderful. Not only have I saved 1000 dollars but I am also ordering a dentakit as we speak in addition to an electric toothbrush. As always, Lynn you are GREAT!
Good luck with your treatment. I hope all goes well for you. I like the way my braces look also. I find myself smiling more than I ever did before being braced. And what a great way to start your new year!
Congratulations!!! I know that I too have found this site to be invaluable!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my dentakit!! I am so glad that I bought one. I am sure that you will love yours as well. Best of luck with your journey! Your attitude sounds great and that is always a plus. Take care, Lori
