My braces journey

#1 Post by xerxes »

At last, I got my braces yesterday after so many years of thinking ! :) I am 36 now
Chastity post encouraged my to step forward.

first I made a lot of research on the internet and I visited a lot of doctors to see what my options are, I wanted to go lingual braces but I end up getting the Inspire ice braces.

8 days ago spacers were fit between my molars, Yesterday the orthoD removed my first right molar and fitted the brackets and a thin wire was also connected. he first took the size of my upper jaw to make the proto type (I don't know what's the process called). \rings were not fitted, I have an appointment in 10 days which I think they will be fitted then.

as for the first day, I had no pain whatsoever, I had a little pain from the spacers earlier but now...nothing. I don't know if its weird or because the orthod did not put the rings yet.

Totally satistfied for now, I wish I went for this earlier.

I will be posting pictures later so others can have an idea before getting into this.
peace

Hi and welcome! I thought about braces for a long time too and finally did it when I was 38. I'm so glad that I finally did it.

I was surfing the net and came up with another concern, ceramic braces on lower teeth! a lot of orthodontist wouldn't do it. Actually my current orthodontist` advised having lower metal then he said its OK for inspire ice on lower.

should I be worried about chipping my upper teeth from having lower ceramic ?

thanks everyone
