Anyone else from Scotland?

#1 Post by dundeechick »

Hi, i was just wondering if theres anyone else on here from scotland? i'm still at the pondering stage- have an appointment with my normal dentist on christmas eve for an initial chat about orthodontics. Braces dont seem to be very popular here especially for adults so i know i'll stick out like a sore thumb! (although to be honest dundonians have a bit of a rep for bad teeth anyway and its not unusual to see people that have lost some of their teeth- its only since moving here that i've started paying so much attention to my own!)
Also- i find myself staring at peoples teeth- does anyone else do that? i try not to but that seems to make me do it more!

Hi I'm from Scotland. I'm getting 6 month smile treatment in Glasgow. Not many adults around here with braces but i've seen one or two. Would rather have braces on my teeth than not have teeth :)

Hey. I'm in Edinburgh and got braces two weeks ago with the eventual aim of having orthognathic surgery. I don't think I've seen another adult with braces outside of the orthodontist's clinic, and I have been stared at once or twice - but then people looked at my dodgy teeth anyway, so the way I see it the funny looks will stop when the braces come off, instead of going on indefinitely.
