Hi im new, just got my braces (bottom) and got the top done a month ago.
I never really needed beaces as my teeth were perfectly straight, until i got gum disease (aggressive) and rare which supposed to affect 60+ yo, yeah just my luck go figure
ANYWAY
This bloody gum fkn disease caused my teeth to BLOODY space OUT and created GAPS EVERYWHERE and i had to pay fkn 4k to fix this !!!!!
Can you hear my frustration? I look like a fkn ugly betty

Now is anyone out there dealing with a similar situation? Even my dentist is a crazy mofo who talks like a frikin mad scientist... mind you he's apparently the best in my area
Watever, he says its gonna take 16-18 months
How long did anyone with gaps it took for em to close or see first results?
Thanks and sorry for the rant

Lmao ! I naturally had gaps in my teeth... But after the first month of flossing i noticed it was harder to floss my canine tooth ( the other is still spaced out)

I had gaps my first round of braces, minus the gum disease. It took about a month for me to see them closed.
