Thank you both so much, I am so happy I finally got braces, I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner! It was definitely worth all the soreness, 6 extractions with braces put on the same day, feeling like my teeth would fall out, the wires cutting into my mouth and getting my tongue stuck on bands and the million deep canker sores I got LOL Now I can smile with confidence it's amazing what braces can do. :HugeGrin:

I am super impressed with your results in a reltively short time! You look terrific. It's never too late for braces.....I got 'em at 65, and now about 17 months later am looking at a de-banding in a few weeks. I don't think my results are going to be as spectacular as yours, but it will certainly be an improvement. I had the full metal braces, and after seeing your clear brackets, wish I had gone that route. You could hardly see your braces. Congratulations, and be sure and wear your retainers to keep your wonderful smile!

thank you so much to everyone who commented! I am very happy with my results, I only wish I would have gotten braces much sooner. This experience has been amazing, I finally can say I LOVE my smile. I have been wearing my retainer faithfully every night and havent seen any shifting whatsoever! Very very happy I did this for myself! good luck to you all and be sure to post before and afters so I can check them out lol :wink:
