Hello, everyone!
I just wanted to introduce myself and maybe find people who can relate to my story and vice versa! I want to apologise in advance for my English as I tend to mess up words sometimes.
Braces are pretty intimidating to say the least!
First off, I want to say that people on here are sooo kind, really. I love you all! May your teeth turn out to be perfect!
So, as to my story...
I'm 20 year old girl, I got my braces on the 20th of March. I was extremely scared of how they'll put braces on my teeth and the whole procedure... turns out the scary part is after I've already gotten them. The first night that I went to bed with my braces, I couldn't really sleep. I couldn't close my mouth and I was freaking out. It was hell. Past couple days have been hell, with a lot of pain and soreness, not really being able to close my mouth... But it is in fact getting better!
I haven't had any teeth extracted... And I am kind of worried about my orthodontist. I thoughts she's one of the best, but she doesn't really give me a lot of information. My next visit is on the 4th of May. Which, actually, is normal... I have Damon ones, but God, I am expected to know everything and I'm totally clueless!
I plan on posting a picture soon if there's someone interested further in my current situation.
My jaws are pretty narrow, I have an overbite that covers most of my lower teeth... Now having braces, I cannon close my mouth properly, and cannot chew (which should be normal, right?).
My question is if someone out there has had the same experience/problem as mine?
I've never been this worried in my life!
Thank you all! Keep them teeth clean and freeessh!
Newbie here! Crowded teeth, overbite and other.

Re: Newbie here! Crowded teeth, overbite and other.
I pretty much had to learn how to chew again after I got my braces on. I had bite ramps put on my upper central incisors and they were terrible. My tongue always touched them. It will definitely get better.
Re: Newbie here! Crowded teeth, overbite and other.
I am new here too. Just got braces on wednesday and I am super terrified and still in a lot of pain.
I wear one rubber band to help correct a cross bite. Not very comfortable at all. I also have turbos in and they are super uncomfortable. All in all I am having a great time.

Ah, I feel you! I also have turbos as well. They don't really let me close my mouth.
We'll get throught it, tho! It's for the better!

Hello! Congrats on taking the leap to get your braces! Mine go on tomorrow!! my situation is very similar to yours - crowding uppers, bad overbite.. Do you have any bite plate or anything for your overjet? to prevent you from closing completely? That's what ill be getting...
Glad to see another newbie on the board
