Finally braced at 28 : )

Hello everyone....
I have been reading these blogs since November last year, when I started the process for my braces....... It has kept me motivated on the process and I will finally be braced on March 11th ( Sooooooo excited!!).
I decided to write on this blog, to keep track of my process and share my excitement. It's not as fun sharing it with my friends and family, without getting the usual "Your teeth are not too bad why are you spending money on braces"
I am a 28 year old female, who has *~*dreamed*~* of getting braces for yearssssssss....... I haven't been able to afford them until now. It has taken me a few months to get my braces because I had a few fillings to take care off and needed my wisdom removed. I got my wisdom teeth removed last friday. The healing process was not too bad, I took a few days off work and followed all the post op instructions and I'm happy to say I did not get a dry socket (which I hear are painfulllllllll!) Today I got metal spacers and they are driving me insaneeeeeeeeeeeeee
They are actually hurting me more than the whole wisdom teeth recovery. They could only fit one rubber one, because my back teeth are sooooo tight
The lady even broke a plastic one and scraped the top of my mouth while trying. I was so embarrased bleeding, while she called for "backup" to put in metal one's LOL.....
I will have my spacers in for a week and next thursday I will be officially braced...YAY.....
Here are some pics.... I hope the links work!
