![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
August of '05 I made myself an appointment for a consultation, and have never looked back. My experience has been very positive. I have had little discomfort, in comparison to some of the stories I have read! Cleaning is a challenge, but have discovered alot of the secrets reading this message board! I really like my orthodontist and the staff. I have full metal braces, and an estimated 18-20 months to wear them. I am 11 months braced, and the progress is so amazing. It took 6 months for the gap to close, and the teeth are getting close to flattening out.
What really motivated me to post on this site is to encourage others my age to get your teeth fixed if that is your hearts desire! You will never be sorry...
I am a little technically challenged when it comes to posting pictures, but would like to do it. As soon as I figure it out, i will post them.
