Jen's journey in braces

Where do I start? I'm 37 and had my braces put on 2 days ago -- September 3, 2009.

I've wanted braces since I was a teenager. My bottom teeth are crowded & I have a slight split in between my two top front teeth. I will be getting 4 teeth (1st molars, I believe) pulled on September 22. I am so looking forward to that! :shock:

Right now most of the discomfort is coming from the 8 spacers I had placed. I was hungry last night and tried eating pizza -- big mistake -- even though I didn't eat the crust, just using my molars hurt terribly within an hour.

The wax is becoming my best friend. It's never more than a few feet away.

So here's to the start of my journey...

Hi Metal Mouth TN,

Congrats on getting your braces, you'll get used to it all quickly I'm sure.

Maybe you can post some pics, looking at mine and watching other peoples progess keeps me motivated.

Good luck with the rest of your treatment.
