Hello everyone!
I've just had the first stage of my braces put on last Wednesday! Feels very strange but worth it in the long run

Hello everyone, I am 22 and tomorrow I will go to my first visit with the orthodontist. I have to admit that I am a little nervous since my general dentist told me that I would probably need to have 4 extractions in order to make room before getting my braces
I hope I really don't..that's going to hurt!

Thanks guys ( Ana, Bekah and Kinda nervous!)
That's fantastic Ana re you had your braces on a day before me: how's it going?
How long have you Bekah till your braces come off? Cheers Kinda Nervous for your comments.
Apparently since 'Ugly Betty' thousands more adults have opted for fitted braces!
Hope your all having a great day

Really? That's funny! I also heard that, because of the economy, more adults were rushing to get orthodontic treatment in case they lost their jobs and insurance coverage...(they must have great insurance because I don't know many adults who have orthodontic coverage...).
Anyway, welcome to the board!

It's ok now. Thanks for asking.
Chewing was extremely hard the first 4 days, so I basically just had soup for every meal lol. I also had to use some wax on an annoying bracket on my left side for the first 2 days. But now everything's fine and I'm used to my braces.
I do feel that my mouth / lips are a lot dryer, though, but I guess that's something I can live with
hey

yeah no ortho coverage for me... I didn't do it for ugly betty either. I just wanted to feel better about myself (i'm a little vain haha)

Hiya,
Well 9 days to go until first adjustment, whoo hoo!
Getting used to the brace, though am experiencing a dry mouth more, like you Ana
Just wanted to point out: i didn't mean that i got braces coz of the programme 'Ugly Betty', i was making a statement regarding it. Sometimes i don't explain myself properly
Thanks for welcoming me onboard!!!
