Hi all
I just got brackets on this afternoon and will be having AOO procedure on Friday. My issues are: crossbite, narrow upper palate, slight underbite and a slight cant.
This forum has been a great source of info and I wanted to stop by and say thanks!

Re: Just got braces on
Good luck to you! If I could offer any advice, make sure you get yourself some dental wax. Beeswax works too! And before you go for any adjustments, be sure to take some over the counter medications BEFORE you go. I learned that the hard way!

Welcome! This forum is amazing. Folks have prepared me for the unexpected when I go to the orthodontist. A fun yet crazy ride.
2-year sentence of clear top and bottom braces commencing March 23, 2016
November 2016 - Class III elastics (starts from the bottom canine and goes to the upper 1st molar) on both sides
December 2016 - Two front teeth filed (IPR?) to make space to close black triangle and a power chain; 4 front bottom ceramic brackets replaced with metal brackets to force the teeth straighter; 1 broken bottom molar bracket (courtesy of a Tootsie Roll craving);
