My name's Angie, I'm 35 and I am the sorta kinda proud wearer of a set of Speed braces. I found this site a week or so ago and boy was I glad. I got my top braces put on last Wednesday so I'm still struggling through the sore mouth stage. I was so nervous about getting them done, I didn't know what I was getting myself in for. My husband has been so supportive, that's made this all easier. He's a great guy and was very glad when I found the "braces in the bedroom" page.

I have to have braces on the bottom but my ortho is waiting to put them on as my top front teeth scrape the bottoms and there's no room. I have a cleaning with my regular dentist near the end of April and he will put spacers in my back molars - I've heard that's a royal pain. When I go for my first adjustment I'll have the molars banded and attached so they will move forward and maybe have my bottoms done at the same time.
I've had bad teeth since I was a kid and in the last five years (and the last two jobs with dental insurance) I've been working to have them fixed. I had cavities in my front top teeth and canines that were waaay out of place. The crappy dentist (who is now wanted for insurance fraud

It's so nice to find a place where people understand what it means to have wonky, crooked or just plain missing teeth. It's also nice to know I'm not going through this alone.
