I've always had issues with my teeth from a young age, the age old story, needed my teeth fixed when I was younger, parents couldn't afford it, so here I am now at 24 and undergoing treatment.
I don't know exactly how it all began, but my left incisor falls behind my other teeth, it's always worried me as whenever I smile you can see it straight away, I've always wanted straight teeth like my friends and family but could never afford it.
Fast forward a few years and have since been to an orthodontist who put my mind at ease (along with a few helpful people from this forum) about the whole orthodontic/braces journey. He told me it is very easily fixed and that I do need braces but should only need them for 18 months *phew* I got my moulds, x-rays and photographs taken on the spot and was told to come back on August 2nd for my spacers and then again on August 9th for my braces.
After I left the office I started to panic and called my family and partner to tell them I made a wrong decision, they put my mind at ease and said it was for the best and that if it was going to make me happy I should go ahead.
I've since recieved my Invoices for payments and a summary of my orthodontic needs (I will go into my detail at a later stage) and I've got a copy of the pictures they took (only scanned, sorry about the quality) and realise that my problem isn't as bad as I first thought, but I hope the money is worth it in the end!
