hey peeps
just had braces on first time about 4 hours ago. Feels strange, almost as if my teeth were being tugged more or less all the time.
...
I'm 38 and my teeth have been a nightmare since I can remember having any. This year I had 5 extractions - mostly guys at the back of my gob - and only one of those was for this brace treatment. Ortho said I'd lose my front babies as well unless they were pulled back into line. So here I am.
Apart from anything else, one benefit is that I decided to stop smoking in order to pay for the braces, since it seemed as if I'd be replacing one oral habit with another. Not quite the same it has to be said but at least my teeth arent brown any more.
They are red and steel instead.
