I'm being braced on the 26th of sept and not oct 26th!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: As you may know i moaned about waiting in an earlier post

I went to see my ortho and asked all my questions and i must admit i had a shock! I was initially just getting braces on the top but decided to go the whole hog. Well my bottom teeth are no way near as crooked as my top but the bottoms will take two years to fix whereas the top will take only one year!! :?:

I was feeling so scared about what people would think about me in braces and although i desperatly want to get them done i was nervous. But thanks to you guys and this website i have never been so excited about anything in my life!!!! It's so weird being so excited about being braced but i am. Obviously i'm not looking forward to the pain and cut mouth but hey theres worse things in life than a bit of mouth pain.

Anyway i'd just like to thank you all soooo much for answering all my questions and being here for me pre being braced. My mum brought a digital camera today so i can post loads of piccies and make a diary of progress.

How do i go about getting a time line? I've got 28 days left to go to get my top brace on and am having the bottom 2-3 months later.

Thanks everyone, don't know how i would have prepared fully for this without you guys.

I didn't need to use lip balm - my ortho smothered my mouth with vaseline petroleum jelly before we started so no probs there!

Good luck Iccle_Peanut and joney - let us know how it goes when you get them on.
