A journey that seems too long
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2009 1:48 pm
I did get my braces at 45 mainly out of necessity to spare me from dental suffering later on in life.
Today it has been 4 months and 2 days since I got the braces on, a long journey with some painful things such as replacing archwires, fraenum surgery and upcoming removal of two upper teeth![Sad :-(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
When I read the board I see a lot of people with YEARS of bracing, m sister in law (also adult) has been braced for 3 years. I have lost weight, I do eat better but it seems like a long journey to me. I can't see (nor know) when this is going to end.
I was supposed to have my jaw surgery in 9 months (dec 2009) but due to the removal in june it is delayed some 6 months. All that waiting!!!! at the same time I am scared of that surgery.
I have tried nearly everything to gain weight in preparation for the surgery but no success. Anyway, I hope to see the day when these braces come off.
