Hi
Im Alison, Im 38 and live in the Westmidlands in the UK.......Ive had braces now for 4 months...Ive had overcrowded "goofy" teeth (from thumb sucking) most of my life.....never did anything about it when I was young as Ive always been petrified of dentists!
But in recent years my teeth have been slowly moving, looking worse than ever...so decided to do something about it.....my dentist is great, as it was she who persuaded me to do it...Ive had to have 2 teeth out at the sides and Ive just got a normal metal brace.....have to say it hasnt been too bad...the only trouble is a side bracket keeps coming unstuck
this site is great.......its great seeing other adults with braces
I have to say I have had no comments, looks or anything about me wearing a brace....I wouldnt care anyway!
Ive been told it will take about 18 months / 2years....I do wonder? altho my fang looking side teeth have gone back I cant ever see the gaps where my teeth were extracted at the sides ever being filled?
but Im keeping positive!!!!!!!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
