I'm a 25-year old from Boston, and this is my first time in braces (my family couldn't afford them when I was a child). I am being braced on Wednesday (6.20.07) and wanted to say hello before my b-day! I've had spacers in since Wednesday (6.13.07) and am finally getting used to them- of course, they come out in two days. Go figure. I'm getting braced to correct crowding which, as the orthodontist put it, happened because my mouth is too small all those teeth.
I've been reading this forum for a few weeks and I have to say, it has been very helpful. Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories and expertise and for giving me inspiration to start my own journey.
Wish me luck on Wednesday!
