Metal Mouth Message Board

hello everyone,
my name is Brittany and I just got braces today. I honestly don't know how to feel about it, they aren't sore yet...my mouth feels very strange however. It is something I have wanted pretty much my whole life, and now that I'm old enough to pay for it myself they are finally on.
I am going to post a braces story of my own and hope everyone will throw in support! I'm kind of a worry wart and I decided to start posting on here so I don't drive my boyfriend crazy with my questions and teeth analysis!
So I hope to see you all soon!

Hi Brittany and welcome to AW! I was so glad when I found this site too because otherwise I'd be driving everyone batty Congrats on the decision to take charge and straighten up your teeth - I can't wait to read your story!

yay for you! I'm also 21 and I'll be joining "The Braces Club" this Thursday when they're bonded on! Read my story at www.xanga.com/blackbraceface

Congrats on your braces! I just got my separators (spacers) on today. I will be getting my braces next Thursday. I am very nervous

I just got my braces on today. I'm 20, but getting very close to 21. I'm sure that through here we can commiserate with each other every step of the way!
