Hello to all!
I am getting braces in less than 5 days....counting the days. I am a 36 years old female. I have always wanted to get braces and I have finally made the steps toward braces. I went last week and had the separators put in (I have 7 of them). I had 4 teeth extracted this week....emotional 2 weeks so far. I know it is going to get even more emotional for me. Everyone that knows I am getting braces are soooo excited for me. I am a little nervous but this website has helped me understand what is going to happen. Thank you Archwired.com! I will keep you posted on my progress.
