It's done - I'm wired now.
This is me before it happened:

I got my upper and lower ceramics yesterday morning - after having spent 3 hours more or less "upside down" in the ortho's chair!
Unfortunately not the whole job is done yet. The ortho found a litte cavity between my 6th and 7th upper tooth (the last molar) - so they could not fix the band to the 6th as planned. I have to go and see my dentist first and that part will be then finished on August 3 (my first appointment).
And when the assistant fixed those ligatures, she "lost" one bracket on my lower teeth - great! That needs to be refixed on August 3, too.
Anyway, when I first looked into the mirror I was a little "shocked" as the wire is really going zic-zac - no wonder, actually, as my teeth really need some help here

So far I am feeling quite okay, but I haven't tried chewing yet - I don't dare to and - to be honest - I want to avoid the tedious work of getting my braces clean again for a little while (although I brushed them quite a lot already - but thats easy after milk shakes

My boyfriend really thinks my braces are not that obvious and not at all annoying. Kissing still works

And here is a picture of how my teeth look now:

More to come in the coming weeks and months.
And thanks a lot to all of you for your support and encouragement!
Sunny greetings from Munich !
