Hi! I'm a newbie!

Hi everyone, I have been lurking the last few days and finally decided to register. I'm a 26 year old female, that had ceramic braces placed on top today. Been a long time coming! Metal bottoms will go on in approx. 6 months. I am kind of a complex case. I had 2 lower back teeth removed several years ago after a failed root canal. In preparation for the braces I then had my 4 (yes,4!) baby teeth removed 1 on each side, top and bottom, the baby teeth had no adult teeth behind. One did but it was impacted so we just removed it, along with all 4 wisdom teeth. I promise I have teeth in my mouth! Parents never really enforced dental hygiene or took me to dentist as a kid and I have been wanting to get this going for a long time, just couldn't afford it. Excited to see the end result in about 24-36 months!
Oh yeah, forgot to add, ortho wants me to do the herbst appliance or orthonathgic? surgery. And will also need a dental implant or 2? where the 2 teeth were removed from failed root canal.
Welp, thats my story in a nutshell.
