Damon braces
Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2015 4:51 pm
Hi all,
Ok so I'm due to have the Damon clear braces fitted on Wednesday 21st Jan, eventually after years of not being able to smile and not being able to laugh without covering my mouth.
I should have had braces as a teen with head gear to boot for the evening, however at the time braces were far too unattractive so I chickened out at the last minute leaving me with years of regret and embarrassment.
So here I am a 36 year old mother who just had 2 premolars removed today plus another 2 extractions to be done next week due to my severe overcrowding prior to my braces.My Ortho says my case is a complex case as my bottom teeth are serverely crooked, my number 2 bottom left is sat so far back then when I eat a sandwich bread gets stuck its pretty awful really. My top 2 front teeth are protruding however as well as them being quite bucked they are actually quite large so my real hope is once I am finished with the braces,my 2 front teeth won't be so obvious. God knows the insults I have suffered over the years. I am looking to have the braces fitted for around 20 months.
My extractions today weren't as bad as I had expected, not too much blood but a little sore once the painkillers had worn of. I am just finding it strange without premolars on right side, no steak for me for a while.
I am hoping to read some inspiring stories here and i look forward to keeping you all updated on my progress.
Thanks for reading
