New, my biggest

[NoName]

mistake so far in life is that I decided not to wear braces, after being on the waiting list (NHS) for nearly 2 years, I got there and the woman told me the treatment could last some years and at that point, I thought "who wants to wear braces at 24,25, 26 years old? Here I am now, 8 years later wishing I wore them.

I don't even smile when I take pictures and very very weary of smiling in public.

So now, I've decided to take this journey once again, the problem is now, I would probably need to wait 18-24 months to get fitted on NHS for free or go private, I'm not even working, I'm back in university and already footing that bill.

Anyway, I'm making my appoinment on monday to start all this again, I hate when I walk into the denists office and they ask me "so what are you here for" and I have to tell them infront of those pretty assistants (why do dentists have the prettiest assistants).

I'll be here, I'm glad I found a forum like this, I was thinking it might be too late to start wearing them, I'm now 28 years old.


I'm from London U.K by the way.

Hi NoName and welcome. Isn't funny how we put things off that trouble us, only to revisit the issue a few years later and have to deal with it? Anyway, I wish you well on your journey.
