I am so happy to have found this website to have others to talk with during my braces journey. I am 26 and will be starting my journey next month after I get a cavity filled. I found out that my BRACES SENTENCE will be 24-30 months. I also found out I will have to wear elastics along with HEAD GEAR. Its good to know I will only have to wear the head gear at night, because I do not know how I will feel having to wear it out. I also broke a tooth off and had to have it extracted and found out today I do not have to get a dental implant (which is around $7000) because the gap will close with my braces. I am so nervous about getting started, but have a month to prepare. I was not a candidate for Invisalign so I will be getting the traditional braces. I look forward to starting and sharing my journey will all my new Archwired community friends!!
I am waiting to see what course of action is waiting for me (also 26). I was told on Wednesday that I might need to get surgery to get rid of my overbite, however, that's worse case scenario...I HOPE! Lol
Thanks everyone. Once I start my journey I will defintely put pictures up. I am actually excited about finally getting started. It will probably be the beginning of June now before I get started bc I have to get a teeth extracted that I broke off back in 2009 and it can not be saved. The good thing is, instead of having to payout EXTRA $$$$$$$$ for an implant or a bridge, my orthodontist will be able to close the gap up with my braces!!!!

Result!
Sadly, I have 4 teeth missing anyway, but at least I have plenty of room, right?

That is true. Hopefully this will be the only tooth I will need pulled.
