New here...

Hello Everyone! I am new here and just decided to let myself be known. I am not a braces wearer, but I used to wear braces. I find them fascinating, as well as other dental related things. I've wanted to become a dentist since I was younger, but unfortunatly to my eyesight (I am blind in my right eye) I can't become a dentist or an orthodontist. So anyway, back to my braces, because I know that is what you all want to know about, lol. I got my braces on when I was eleven. I had them on until I was sixteen. My teeth were straight and they were until basically the braces came off. They are rather crooked now and I am debating whether to go back and spend alot of money to get them fixed...again. So basically what happened with me, is that I had the braces on for so long that I actually got cavities. My first cavities. My orthodontist wasn't much of a nice guy. He didn't explain all the facts to me, he didn't really talk to me about my treatment, so that's a bad part for him. Now that I have no braces on, thank Goddess they didn't do permanant damage, but I still am getting no cavities. I know alot about braces and things so if anyone has any questions or comments, I will give my feedback. Also if any orthodontists on this board knows about any types of dental-related careers that a visually impaired person can achieve, please let me know.

Rich.

Hi Rich,

Welcome to the board. You should post a question in the Ask the Doc forum about the possible career for the visually impaired. You have more chances of getting an answer since thats where the orthos post. In the meantime, are you a university student or something?

No, I am looking for potential careers of dentistry or orthodontics to go into. I am also looking into graphic design.
