33 and getting braces in a couple of weeks
Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 7:54 pm
Hello People,
I am new to the site and will be getting braces for the first time in a couple of weeks. I have known I’ve needed braces since I was about 14 but I put up such a fuss javascript:emoticon(':evil:') about the getting braces (typical childhood fears and concerns) that my mother did not make me get them. I think she wanted to teach me a hard lesson. So I had to learn the hard way that Mom always knows best. Boy, do I regret my teenage stubbornness, especially since I know have to pay bill myself.
So I had my initial consultation on September 10, 2008 or so I thought. My ortho must have sensed my apprehension and encouraged me to have the records done that day. I figured it was now or never so I did it. The braces will correct the crowding in my lower and upper teeth as well as an overbite from years of thumb sucking (Don’t worry I gave this up years ago javascript:emoticon(':D')). Did I mention that I have a lisp? I go back on September 26 for the treatment plan and to sign the contract. My journey with braces will begin in a few weeks. I must admit that I was absolutely terrified about the prospect of getting braces at the ripe age of 33 but my fears have started to subside after having read about your experiences. I look forward to sharing my experience with you over the next two years. I will upload pictures soon and more details after my next visit.

and that is the main cause I have a crossbite and now I am on my way to correct it.
