Braced (again) at 29!

[KeL Anne]

Hello, I just got braces put on 3 days ago. I'm 29. This is my second time with them...I had them before as a teenager from the beginning of 6th grade to the beginning of 9th grade. However, I wasn't totally happy with the results and never wore my retainer So now I'm doing it all over again. I have in-ovation clear on the top right now.

Hey Welcome to the forum! Hope your first week in braces is going okay.

Thanks! They feel HUGE on my teeth which is annoying right now, but I know I'll get used to it.

Ugh, mine did too. To the point where I wondered if I should have gotten metal one's for a while (I'm glad I didn't though now). They still feel big at times (mostly when I'm talking to people and they get a bit dry and every now and then I have a day where my lips just won't seem to sit around them properly) but you will get used to them. It took me a few weeks before they stopped feeling like they were bigger than my entire mouth (I think I'm a bit overly sensitive of them being there though).
