Today's the day - you're on your way! Can't wait for pics!

Hello! Sorry I have been MIA since my brace date. I have been running around non-stop...not letting the braces get in my way. So here it is... As I'm driving to Dr. R's office, I have to fight the urge to just turn around and go home. My heart was racing. I finally chilled out when I got in the chai...

Your lower arch is looking great - hurray for movement! I hope mine move that fast.

I get my braces on at noon CST today!! WOOHOO - my day has finally come! Now if the butterflies in my stomach would just go away so I can enjoy my last lunch with naked teeth...

Today is the day for me!

Today's the day! My hubby took me out for a steak dinner last night, yum. I savored every bite. I tossed and turned all night thinking about today. I'm so excited to get started!

necra: I hope the pain is more bearable today. I know you can make it thru - you made it thru a gingival graft, right? So today's my last day with naked teeth for the next two years. Any suggestions on what to do/eat before my teeth go behind bars? I'm feeling excited one second and total dread the...

Unhappy teeth: Thanks for stopping by! I was so disturbed by my dream, I actually got up and looked in the mirror to make sure all my teeth were still there. Do you have teeth dreams often? I hope that they lessen once I'm braced. Looking forward to your pics...

2 more days until braces!! :shock: Well actually 2.5 days because I get them on at noon Friday. I must say that these past few days have been dragging. I'm keeping busy though; stuffing my face with all the goodies I'm not supposed to eat while braced. I had a bunch of salt water taffy yesterday, mm...

necra: Sorry I've been MIA these past few days. My internet connection was all jacked up. They sent someone out to fix it last night and then we lost power because of a thunderstorm. So I feel like a total shmuck because I missed cheering you on for your spacers :cry: Are they giving you more troub...

It's day 5 with the spacers and luckily they haven't been horrible. My teeth ache randomly, but I would mostly describe them as annoying. The spacers seem to be moving my lower teeth towards my incisors. It creating this strange pressure on those teeth, which are already crowded as it is. The pressu...

Happy Brace Day!! I hope all goes well. Looking forward to your pics..

Hi and welcome to AW! I hope your appt went well. Good luck on your journey!

Aoide - Hi and welcome to AW! You'll love it here - everyone is so supportive. Good luck on your journey!

necra: Only 3 days to spacers! :) Now that your time is getting closer, have your feelings changed about getting braces? I go from excitement to oh my god what am I doing and back again. Is it normal to have cold feet? I think I was less nervous for my wedding...how lame is that. :roll: I hope thin...
