Hello, all. I'm a 23 year old student getting braces for the first time. I've hated my teeth for as long as I can remember and have some TMJ issues as well. I've enjoyed lurking on ArchWired for a long time and finally took the plunge. Today I got Inspire ceramic braces on the top! I was so nervous going in, but it really wasn't that bad. They gave me the option of getting both top and bottom, but because of my jaw issues I was worried that the bite blocker would put too much pressure on my lower draw. I'll be getting the bottoms Dec. 11, and should be in them for about a year.

This is my usual close-mouthed smile: http://pics.livejournal.com/evilnel/pic/0003trs8/

And the braces: http://pics.livejournal.com/evilnel/pic/0003ykxb

Sorry for the poor quality. I'm really excited to be here.

Thanks, I'm glad I went with the clear. You can still tell they're on there, but at least they're not glaringly obvious. After so many years of being self-conscious about my teeth, the last thing I want is for somebody to be staring at them, haha.
