I did all the x-rays, molds and stuff in october but kept procrastinating the actual appointments that would begin the treatment. (I wish I didn't because I would be three months in, but I did, so no point on dwelling on that).
Anyway, I got them on a week ago today (Tuesday). Its just the top (ceramics), for cosmetic reasons. Doc says that my treatment should be about 10 months. I hoping for good news sooner than that (I'm going to think positive). The first few days were sore, but less sore than the week with the spacers. So, after a week, I have finally become comfortable with them in my mouth, and am no longer sore.
However, I'm having trouble dealing with them in public. It is actually hard for me to produce a normal, real, smile for my family and especially my boyfriend. My boyfriend got to see my real smile finally today, almost a week after they went on. I haven't told my coworkers yet, except for one. I'm not sure why, but I just haven't brought it up. They haven't said anything, I think its because they haven't noticed it. The girl that knows says that you don't see them at all when I talk. The hardest thing was today, when I had friends come in and visit me at work. They didn't know I was getting them, and I'm not sure if they noticed. Yea, I guess I really have to deal with this issue of people seeing that I have them.


Anyway, just a quick, yea not so quick, intro. I look forward to participating on this board and learning lots.
