De-lurking after 2+ years

#1 Post by sealless »

I just never got around to registering for this message board though I read a lot of good stuff here prior to taking the plunge in 2006. I learned a lot here before I went for my consultation. I wasn't really afraid of anything ... except having my wisdom teeth extracted. In the end I did have two extractions but they were pre-molars.

I had a couple of tipped incisors and crowding on the bottom plus a little bit of an underbite - all cosmetic stuff. But at 41 I had 32 teeth which was more than my old man could say.

Overall my treatment went without a hitch. I am atypical among adult patients in that I experienced very little discomfort - the extractions didn't even bother me. The most uncomfortable part of the process was paying the bill :wink:

Right now I am in limbo - the braces came off on Monday, the retainers go in on Thursday. Last night -- I chewed gum and it was good.

To everyone thinking about it - just do it! To everyone in the process - tough it out! It is sooooo worth the hassle.

Here are some pics in case you are interested

Looking at those pics makes me know that it is all worth it!
