October Braces Poll

[catfish]

What I fear most is my debracing day. Periodontal disease has left my lower front teeth wiggly and unstable. I fear that the forces used to remove brackets and glue will completely loosen the tenuous hold my teeth currently have on my jawbone!

I am scared that they won't be able to fix my teeth completely. My ortho assures me that he will. I am also scared that they will move back but I guess that means I will wear my retainer religiously.

I was really scared that they would hurt. But aside from a couple of instances that were more uncomfortable than painful, having my braces wasn't painful at all.

At first the thought of braces scared the whatever out of me. After six months and the realization I was in excellent hands I went from fear to excitement and anticipation as to what good things the next change would do. At first I was scared of the embarassment and everything else. Not anymore.
