Newbie here...
Hi! I'm a 31 year old mother of 4 from Anchorage, Alaska. I'll be getting braces on March 31st. I'm nervous, excited and just plain out scared.
The state of my teeth has resulted in a major blow to my self-esteem for years and years. I was teased in school and now my son is getting the same type of teasing as he has inherited my bite as well.
I'm sure I'll be in and out with all sorts of questions and comments within the next 2-2 1/2 years (the amount of time estimated I'll have the braces on). So, bare with me.
Thanks!

Yea, what others will say and think is a concern for me. But how can it not be after years of torment by my peers as a child, you know? It feels like I'm bringing awareness to something I've tried to pretend was a non-issue to me for so long. I'll be fine and I've been inspired by the pics I've seen other other's progression on this site. It looks like pretty good progress is made within the first 6 months. I'm hoping I'm one of the lucky ones as well.
Thanks for the welcome!

I am 31 years of age also. I have three children. I was always teased about the gap between my two front teeth. I get my braces place on April 2nd. Looks like we will have alot to talk about and enjoy our treatment together. Congradulations on the braces! How long did the doctor tell you for your length of treatment?
