Well i have been lurking on this site for a while now awaiting to strt my journey into braces, and thought i would set up my braces story page hehe even though im nt getting them fo a lil while still but hey!.
well i have had consultation and molds nd X-rays done and so far this is my story to strt to tell;
i have crowding on my lower front teeth; an increased overbite; spacing around my top front teeth; my left upper lateral incisor tooth has xtra projection of enamel on its inner surface which has to gradually be shaven down some how not sure hw tht really works. This was all quoted out of a letter i recieved from my orthodontist, so im nt really totally up with how it is all going to be done.
i have been told tht i will have braces for about 18-24 months arghh now thts a scary thought

well thats about all i can tell you at this stage, the next time i write will probly be when i get my spacers which is feb/2 well tata for now hope yah enjoy reading my posts!
heres a couple of pics, sorry there not to good

Looks like we'll both be starting out at around the same time! I haven't had my molds taken yet, how did that go for you?

Good luck!!!!

hmmm i'll have to say that getting the molds was a rather interesting experience lol, the putty they used was rather of putting and gross it felt like i had mud in my mouth i guess but without the flavour, but as soon as it was done i got to rinse my mouth, getting the bottom one was rather funny, the mold had set so the assistant tried to pull it of but it wouldnt come off, she kept tugging it and it felt like she was going to rip some of my teeth out hehe but it came out after alot of tugs and then i got to rinse my mouth out again thankfully

... sorry Lin if i put you off getting the molds done they really arent tht bad just keeping thinking about hw much closer you are to having perfect teeth!... well good luck to you and keep me posted on how you go!

Good luck tomorrow, angelxdevil21!! The spacers aren't fun, but, in my experience, they were mostly uncomfortable and not painful the whole time.

Eat a big tasty dinner tonight and let us know how it goes tomorrow for you!
