Thanks for the replies everyone
Advice for a newbie? Just be very patient, try not to obsess over your teeth, clean them well and just enjoy your braces (if you can!) cos they certainly make for a different few months while you wear them! I can't imagine what it will be like NOT to have braces - brilliant, hopefully!!
