Well I've worn my splint for just over 3 months and my jaw is good enough for me to get braced. My appointment is October 11th. I'm very excited because I've wanted to do this for 10 years. I'll post a before picture and once my braces are on I'll post another. It'll keep me motivated to track my process. Here goes!
I'll make sure to start salt water rinses a week before. What's the ratio anyway?

Hi Annie:
Congratulations!! Good luck! you'll see time goes really fast, enjoy the experience of being able of fixing your teeth...
Next November, it'll be my turn to start!! Take care
Ok, only 2 more days till I get braced. My appointment is supposed to take 1 1/2 hrs. I see here that some people get the arch wire put on later. I this normal? I was under the impression that I was getting everything on but now I was wondering if they're only putting on the brackets. I hope not, I'd like it all done at once.

I had my wire put in at the same appointment as my brackets. There was maybe 1/2 an hour between when I got the brackets & when the wire was inserted, and I remember feeling like the brackets were going to fall off. They weren't, of course, that cement is hard! But it felt like that. But I'm sure I would have gotten used to it, you can get used to anything.
Good luck at your appointment! If I were you I would stock up on soft food, & have a big blowout the night before with all the hard stuff you're going to have to give up for a while. My last free night I ate lots of nachos!

I got everything put on in one appointment and I agree, it's easier to just get it all out of the way.
