Alas, a couple of years ago it all started to move back again, and I now have serious crowding on my bottom teeth. Even the dreaded overbite was starting to return, slowly but surely. I have the unfortunate combination of a small mouth and big teeth, so there's just no room for the little guys! After a lot of thought I decided to get a consultation from my old orthodontist. Although he said I didn't need any more teeth taken out (4 the first time was enough, euurrghh), I definitely needed more work. My sentence? A "mere" 9 months of braces and a whopping 3 years with a fixed retainer to look forward to after that.
Well, today I had my top brace put back. I don't remember it being so painless the first time, but it's all largely the same as I remember. The bottom brace won't be so easy...
I'm a student at uni, and I'm not exactly looking forward to going back to class tomorrow! When I tell people I've had to get braces, the first question I always get is "Why didn't you get them before?!" Argh!
Anyway, just posting to say hi, and that I'm pleasantly surprised at the number of adult metal mouths!
