Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi guys! My name is Deb. I live in Southern Cali. Im 26 years old and im going to get braced. Im glad I found this awesome website. I kinda felt weid being 26 and getting braces. I started my process a month ago. I have alot of crowding in the front and a overbite. My dentist suggested to have a gum treatment first, Since it's been about 5 years since I've been to the Dentist. I was terrified of the dentist since I was a little girl. But I got the courage to go finally! lol. Anways I had my gum treatment 3 weeks ago, last week I had my wisdom pulled which was ok since i didn't feel anything. Today I had my Pictures and impressions done and spacers put in. Im so excited and scared at the same time. I have an appointment for next tuesday to finally get my braces. Oh yeah I going to get the traditional mini-braces. I hope to meet new friends and since Im a newbie and need all the advice i could get.

Hi Deb

Congrats on your decision to join the bracket club

I was the same as you, spent several years not going to the dentist and I guess I did have a bit of a phobia..

But hey - I just love the place now!!!
