Hello everyone,

I am 19 and living in PA and I just got braces to fix my overbite. They were actually my choice and although I was a bit worried about getting them they arent too bad.

I only need them on my top teeth and my treatment time is 6-8 months (not bad really).

I started a blog to post my progress so stop by and check it out:

As I said it's not so bad and I kind of wish I had done it sooner.

So hello everyone!

Lucky you to only require your upper arch to be braced and for such a light sentence

Thank you. You are right I did get off easy.

If I can get a digital camera I will try to take a picture. Sadly, I don't have one right now.

I think they are made of the same material and are just tinted to make them hard to see. The brackets have a noticeable tint, they arent totally translucent.

Thank you. I am going to keep my blog up to date as far as my progress.
