Braces at 26!

#1 Post by Bethanw1990 »

Hi all ! I'm new to his site and thought I would introduce myself . So my name is Bethan I'm 26 and I've had top and bottom clear braces put on about 3 weeks ago. The first week with them on was horrendoes but I can barely feel them any more. I've always been very self conscious of my teeth, both of my lateral incisors stick out and my 2 front teeth are pushed back. I'm planning to put some photos up once I can see a big difference , although I can tell they have moved already! Ortho said they should be on for 6-9 months, I'm so excited to see the progress :-)!!

I'm 26 now, but I got my braces when I was 24, supposed to be nearing the end, but that's just going off of my original estimated treatment time of 2 years (August 2015 to August 2017); I have to say things have been going almost perfectly and they never said I was behind, so I'm hoping it doesn't get delayed much.

I called also sort of imagine to end result, but I need 2 implants so the braces part is only part of my journey.
Lots of crimes here

1. The upper molars bite too far ahead of the lower molars

2. Missing teeth #s 9, 14, and, 29

3. Open bite

4. Upper midline left of center

5. Lower midline right of center

6. Upper and lower teeth not straight

Sentence - 24 months, turned to 27 month.

Braces removed since 11/06/17
