My name is Matt and I'm a 31 year old male. I think I fall into the "my teeth aren't that bad but I'm unhappy with them" category. After seeing my dentist as a sanity check he agreed they weren't bad but could use a little work.
He also said I had a class 2 bite? on my right side which I had no clue what that meant. He also asked about my jaw popping/clicking which is does a lot on the right side with the bit issue. I have no idea if it's related but every ortho asked about it.
I ended up with stainless steel top and bottom for 20-24 month estimated time. I'll be getting brackets on the back molars and I think the wisdom teeth later when the wires are bigger I believe. My ortho is a great guy. Very easy going and very professional but he explained everything as he did it.
Here are some pictures. Please excuse the fillings - I am not very proud of how poorly I took care of my teeth when I was younger.
Here's my pictures from just before and the day I got the braces.

I'm just over a week into wearing them and have some more pictures I'll upload once I get time to get them off the camera.
Thanks,
Matt
