Hi, welcome to the board I'm 29 and I was braced March 28th, ceramic uppers and metal lowers. How are you adjusting?

So far, so good! I'm getting some extractions done this Friday so I'm hoping the recovery isn't too bad.

You're my braces twin! I sucked my thumb for a long time too! I have ceramic top and bottoms and am fixing an open bite and moderate crowding. I'm 28. I was told I may need extractions but they hasn't happened yet. I wonder how quickly you'll see changes once those teeth are removed!

Lol, I know what you mean. I had a dummy (pacifier) as a kid and it caused an awful overjet. They should ban the things.

Smh!! How long is your treatment? The only crowding I have is the front four, surprisingly. It will only take about 4-5 months to straighten if that long especially since I got my extractions done today. But this overbite? Uummmmm yeah lol. Im in for two years.

I got my first adjustment on the 18th....I am still miserable my teeth hurt so bad lol

Oh, me too! I'd forgotten how bad the pain was. I'm only just now managing to eat solids. My premolars are still very sore, I think they're being pulled down.

lol I managed to eat a flatbread sandwich today. It was pleasant!!! It hurt for a second but I was able to manage. I also took some pics..I see very little progress. Guess I'm being impatient lol
