Congratulations! Well done!

It is a year this month since I started my journey with braces (at 66 yrs old!) and I just wanted to say to all those "over 50s" that it is worth it!! my teeth look so much better and I am so happy I did this. To smile in the mirror and see how straight they are thrills me. I'm not sure ho...

It took me two years and three different orthodontists' opinions before I decided to get braces and now, five months later, I don't regret it at all.
