I'm 20 years old and i'm from England, theres a little about me, i'm a musician and I love to play golf.
Ok about the consultation, I still have a baby canine tooth turns out the adult tooth is impacted so what the ortho talked about to me is that their going to remove the baby tooth and put a brace on with spacers (I think thats what their called anyway!) their going to put on ceramic braces I think but he has given me the option between metal too (help me decided please
) and they'll put metal braces on the bottom but much later so the teeth can finish at the same time.Their going to give my tooth 9 months to drop if it doesn't then they're going to try and pull it but fingers crossed it works the tooth placement is about in this position '/' so thank god its not like '-'. He also said if worse comes to the worst if i'm the 1% then there might be a chance the tooth wont want to play o_0 fingers crossed all the stuff works and if the worst does happen then i'd have to have a crown or bridge or implant but hopefully that wont happen. So anyway thats my story.
My next appointment (including molds and such) will be 5th of September so not to long.
My treatment is predicted to be 2 1/2 to 3/12 so longish I donno but if that tooth comes in quickly then it might be a little quicker.
It is great that you have started your journey towards getting braces. This board is very helpful and you will meet a lot of great people on here to help you through your journey. I actually am one week in and I get my wires and bands tomorrow. For the past week I have been living with spacers and brackets! I actually have the traditional metal braces on top and bottom. Once again welcome and please keep us updated on your progress!
