Hello Everyone,
I'm 25 years old and I am from Willoughby Hills, OH, a suburb of Cleveland. I have been following this website for quite some time and FINALLY on August 3, 2009 I will become a brace face. I'm sooo excited! I'll be getting metal on top and on bottom. I feel like my face is slanted so I'm hoping this will fix it :) My treatment should take up to 2 years and I have to have one extraction. I have some crowding and slanted teeth and I can't wait until they are straight so I can take thousands of pictures. Yesterday I purchased a Water Pik dental jet! By the reviews on here it seems like a good investment. Can't wait to meet new people and hear your stories. Best wishes everyone!

P.S. I chose my name braces911 because I work for a police department as a dispatcher :)

Welcome, braces911! You're getting your braces on the same day that I have my ... Gosh, eighth or ninth adjustment I guess. They take some getting used to, but after a few days you won't be sore and after a couple of months, believe it or not, you'll forget you have them (except when you get something stuck in them!).

Hi braces911,

I look forward to seeing your pics... I only had mine fitted on 29.07.09 so I'm only a few days in front of you and I too have to wear them for up to 2 years.

Good luck :D

Glad you got the pictures working, you'll be glad to have the pics later on down the road when things are moving along. You have really nicely shaped teeth and I think your smile will look fantastic when your treatment is finished!
