I've always wanted braces when I was younger. But like most people, my parents could not afford it. I am 21yo right now, and since I have dental insurance from work, i decided to finally take the pluge and get my teeth fixed. I've always hated how crooked my teeth were. I hated smiling because my ugly teeth would show. Hopefully after this is all and done, i will not be afraid to smile from ear to ear.
Today, 1/21/06 i had spacers put in. Four spacers on top, and four on bottom. I also had the brackets put on. The wires will go in next week.
I havent really felt any pain or discomfort from the spacers as of yet, except when eating. The metal brackets feel really weird in my mouth. I dont know how i will manage to have these in my mount for 20-30 months. omg, what did i get myself into
I'm scheuled to have on my lowers this wednesday
