So I have a little crowding problem that my dentist thinks should be braced. i tried to take a photo - it's not great...:
I know this may sound silly, but I am 27 - gonna be 28 in April and I really don't mind having braces - metal whatever - as long as they're off by the time I'm 30. So i feel like I may be losing time (lots of you say 2 years - i'll already be over...) so i went ahead and finally scheduled my initial consultation... but couldn't get one until 4/17 -after i turn 28...
So the journey begins...
Congratulations on taking the first step and making an appt. for the consultation. I suggest that you get a few opinions just to see what another orthodontist is suggesting for ortho. treatment and cost. I went to four evaluations.
Hi Jeneva! Im also 27 and my teeth look a LOT like yours. They're not terrible by any stretch of the imagination, but a bit on the crowded side, especially on the bottom. I am having my first consultation tomorrow - EEK! Hope your consultation goes well in April.
