I was told by @UKAdultBraces on Twitter that this is the best place to find a supportive community of brace-wearing adults. This is brilliant news, because I'm 25, I'm getting braces for the first time next week, and I could really do with knowing some people who can empathise. So here I am!
I plan to have a browse around and find some people to chat with, but wanted to make a quick introduction post first. My name is Lydia, I live in the south of England and I work for a university. I'm planning to make video diaries about my experience on my YouTube account (not sure I'm allowed to post a URL, but the username is quipsandsentences). I've already made a couple so feel free to go and have a watch
This isn't so much a decision I've made for cosmetic reasons, but because I have multiple baby teeth, which don't have adult replacements behind them. When they fall out, there'll just be gaps, which isn't great. So I'm having the baby teeth taken out, and the adults moved into the right place so that the gaps can be filled correctly. It was a case of 'Have this done, or all your baby teeth will fall out by the time you're thirty'. Not much choice really!
Would be great to hear from some like-minded people, especially anyone who has tips for being confident as a working adult while wearing braces.

. I Can't help you so much as I also got the braces two days back and I’m older than you. (: My office friend suggested me to do it as he also wearing braces and believe it won't look bad. You need to carefully taking food as some might can break your braces or stuck and will create an issue and make this process lengthy. you have to give up like caramel chocolates, candies, soda can, Nuts, pizza etc. etc. And believe me you will want to eat these things too much while wearing braces, although you never ate these since year 
So eat t Other than this everything is fine and normal.
