Hi everyone!
My name is Ange and I'm from Brisbane, Australia and well as the title suggests I am 36 years old and have had my Suresmile braces on for 6 days now =)
I love reading everyone's stories and recommendations on here! Look forward to getting to know more and meeting people on the same journey as me.

Welcome! You are a baby, though... I am 56 and in braces for the second time.

Welcome Angie! Yes, you are still a baby. I am in my 50s and have just a few more months before tooth freedom!
This site is a blessing and has got me through some tough times. Lots of good advice and info here but the stories are the best. They'll keep you sane. Good Luck!!

Sorry, I know you were trying to be funny, but this comment is a little rude and ageist.
I may be older, but I am very fit! Have ridden over 2500 miles on my bicycle this year so far, walk everywhere. Not quite ready for a wheelchair!
When I was 30, I didn't think I'd ever be in my 50s, but I'm here to tell you that age happens to all of us. It's how you deal with it and embrace it that matters!

Yeah, I just saw that and wasn't quite sure what was meant either. Not sure what sort of people you are around but this HERE young lady works 40 plus hours a week in the health industry, volunteers several hours a week for my police dept. and plays drums semi professionally (rock) on a weekly basis. Def not an "old codger" in a wheelchair I'll have you youngsters' know!!!
LOL
