1st post!
Hey all!! I'm 27 and I've had braces for about a month now. I have the clear clarity Braces at the top and metal traditional braces at the bottom. It's been a long time coming...I was a thumb sucker up until age 13 so...you get the point lol

Hi, welcome to the board I'm 29 and I was braced March 28th, ceramic uppers and metal lowers. How are you adjusting?
Re: 1st post!
So far, so good! I'm getting some extractions done this Friday so I'm hoping the recovery isn't too bad.

You're my braces twin! I sucked my thumb for a long time too! I have ceramic top and bottoms and am fixing an open bite and moderate crowding. I'm 28. I was told I may need extractions but they hasn't happened yet. I wonder how quickly you'll see changes once those teeth are removed!

Lol, I know what you mean. I had a dummy (pacifier) as a kid and it caused an awful overjet. They should ban the things.Msdanyale wrote:Hey all!! I'm 27 and I've had braces for about a month now.

Smh!! How long is your treatment? The only crowding I have is the front four, surprisingly. It will only take about 4-5 months to straighten if that long especially since I got my extractions done today. But this overbite? Uummmmm yeah lol. Im in for two years.

I got my first adjustment on the 18th....I am still miserable my teeth hurt so bad lol
Re: 1st post!
Oh, me too! I'd forgotten how bad the pain was. I'm only just now managing to eat solids. My premolars are still very sore, I think they're being pulled down.Msdanyale wrote:I got my first adjustment on the 18th....I am still miserable my teeth hurt so bad lol
