New here with braces round 2!!

#1 Post by LyndaS »

Hi all!! I am 29 years old and just got braces for the second time a week ago. I had the whole deal when I was younger, four permanent teeth pulled (I have a very small mouth), head gear, braces and rubber bands. My teeth stayed pretty straight for the first two years but then I stopped wearing my retainers and my wisdom teeth came in. My bottom teeth became very crowded again and my overbite is back! I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 23 but the damage had already been done. So now, 12 years after getting them off, I have them again! I have ceramic on top and metal on the bottom, and should have them for about 18 months (hopefully less). They were extremely sore for the first 5 days, but gradually are getting better. Anyway, this sight has been very helpful, reading everyone's stories. It sure does stink having braces again but I guess it'll all be worth it in the end!!
