Got my top braces on this afternoon!! I've been waiting since I was 14 year old for this. (I'm 40 now). The bottom ones will go on in 3-4 months.

So far, they feel REALLY weird. And I made a terrible mess trying to figure out the wax....other than that...so far, so good. Wahoo!!

It's exciting isn't it? It's funny because when I had braces as a kid, I never used the wax... ever. I suppose I was more resilient or less-bothered by such things. At any rate, I've been ripping through wax this second time in braces.

Welcome! How long is your sentence?
2-year sentence of clear top and bottom braces commencing March 23, 2016
November 2016 - Class III elastics (starts from the bottom canine and goes to the upper 1st molar) on both sides
December 2016 - Two front teeth filed (IPR?) to make space to close black triangle and a power chain; 4 front bottom ceramic brackets replaced with metal brackets to force the teeth straighter; 1 broken bottom molar bracket (courtesy of a Tootsie Roll craving);
