My name is Loretta and I am 37 years old and am getting my braces on April 19th, a week from today. I went in yesterday for the spacers and thought "what have I done?!" They are driving me nuts, but are not hurting me like they told me they would...but I've been taking Motrin round the clock since I left the office.
So, I am getting clear brackets on top and they told me they can't do clear on the bottom but I didn't get a reason. Is that how it goes? I am also getting gold instead of silver because my husband thinks it looks less harsh.

I will have to wear them for about 20 months!

I am sort of anxious about all of this and feel funny when i go in the office and the parents are my age there with their kids! Funny...anyway, I have rambled enough. I am happy to have found this site so I have friends to commiserate with.
