I did it!!! I got my braces put on today. I just pray my time with them goes by fast

Congrats on getting the braces!! Your teeth are looking pretty good already. What is your treatment estimation?

I was told 12-18 mths...I graduate next May so it will be a GREAT graduation gift to have them taken off, lol

Looking good already, and your teeth are really white!

Have you ever had your teeth whitened?

I have never had my teeth whitened. My dentist asked me the same thing. I have been using whitening toothpastes since they came out a few yrs back. In the past I have used Crest Whitening and started using the new Colgate Luminous when it came out in the fall, but was told 3 mths ago to start using Colgate Total (of course I got the whitening one) especially at night because I am cavity prone. So far so good though. We'll see how good it really is come my next cleaning now that I have a mouthful of equitment.

I love the pink ligs on the bottom!!

CONGRATS and good luck

Me too! They are nice, maybe I should get pink :D:D

Your teeth are so white! hehe

Hang in there!!

Soon you'll be eating whatever you want!!

All the best

Like everyone else has previously stated, your teeth look great already! Hopefully it won't take long for you to have perfect teeth. Your teeth are nice and white, but be sure to discontinue the use of whitening toothpastes while you have your braces on. Stick to a non-whitening toothpaste.

As of right now I don't see how I am suppose to eventually eat anything. I can't even completely close my mouth because my top front teeth hit the bottom brackets. Will this resolve itself?!?!?!
