I got a referral from my dentist to an orthodontist on 20th March, I had a cleaning that day. Had to get two fillings on the 3rd April and my first consultation appointment with my orthodontist was the 8th of May. He said I could start whenever I wanted so booked records appointment for 29th May and booked the next appointment at the same time (cheeky I know!)
So had my records done on 29th at 8.30am and I got spacers put in, they are so annoying and were so painful, all my teeth seem to be misaligned now!
Anywho, getting my braces in on June 11th at 9.45am or so the receptionist told me- I duno whats goin on really, the records appointment felt a little rushed, I didnt know I would be getting spacers that day.
So I guess I'm in the June club too, Wahey!
P.S. can anyone tell me if I should arrange another cleaning before I get the braces, my last one was 20th March (and can they do a cleaning with spacers in?)

Hi all! I'm very excited as I'm finally braced! 2nd of June, I got my upper braces. I thought I would have the lower ones on too but my ortho took one look at my bite and say I cannot have them on yet.
I am still getting used to the uppers... and I can't understand why each ligature he put on the metal bracket only cover half of it. Its like my metal bracket are half white rubber and half metal. My friends all had the metal bracket fully covered with the ligature! Hmm anybody knows why is that like that?

I am also on June 7, and we're doing the same thing. I had my initial consultation already, then records and Thursday morning he'll be going over the plan before we get started.Hey! Looks like I'm a member of the June club!
I get mine June 7th, too! Don't know yet if I am getting uppers and lowers....I have a brief consultation regarding our plan of treatment Thursday before he starts bracketing me. I will be having Orthognathic surgery (lower jaw), wisdom teeth extraction and a few other things done in approx one year so my Orthdontist will fill me in on his plan of attack Thursday.
I'm very self-concious but excited to get this process going at the same time. Congrats to all the June-bies!
I have a rather deep bite, so I imagine that the bottom will either come later, or I'll get cemented so I can't bit down that far. This board is helpful in knowing possiblities to expect

I forgot to post on here since Friday! I had my ceramic uppers and metal lower In-Ovations put on June 1. It was a tough weekend, but I'm doing pretty well now. For the previous posters discussing bites and no lowers - I think I would have preferred that! I got bonding to prevent me from biting mine off, and I don't like it at all!!

in the morning!
Hey...
I am brand new to this site, and I was having a minor freak out because I am getting my braces put on tomorrow morning! I'm getting clear uppers and metal lowers, and will have them for at least a year, they say.
I am almost 28 years old, and just never was able to get them when I was young due to money issues, mainly, and my smile is the one thing I always said I would change about myself. I totally signed myself up for this, following a horrible breakup with my partner of almost 9 years, thinking I wanted to do something really good for myself, so off I go! This is going to be an adventure.
Yep!!
This site has totally helped me prepare mentally, I think.
It's gonna be interesting!
