Ive been wanting to get braces for many years now but everytime I asked my own dentist he said it would be lots of pain and discomfort and extractions with not allot of benefit at the end so I kept putting it off......until now that is!!
I went for my first consultation on 21st November and was braced one week later on the 28th Nov

I have never liked my two front teeth, I felt they stuck out in front of the rest of my teeth. I have quite small teeth as the picture shows.
My ortho said they are sitting in a V shape just now and he'll make them more of a U shape when he's finished!
Ive to go and get an expander on 7th Jan, he explained this had to go on as Im not getting any teeth removed and that it'll make my smile wider!! Fingers crossed it works!
Im getting married in august next year so before the wedding Ill get the braces removed and Ive been promised they'll look 100 times better than they did, by that time Ill have had them on for 8 months, he said all in Ill have them for 12-14 months.
Here's a picture of my first day in braces.
