Introductions

Soooooo my first reaction after the Ortho had finished putting on the brackets was WOW WHAT THE HECK IS IN MY MOUTH!!!

Then I was able to rinse my mouth and look in the mirror and it was DEAR GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They call these (the uppers) clarity, ceramic braces, OMG they are not clear OMG I can see them a mile away. How the heck am I ever going to close my mouth. OMG my teeth look worse than I thought

Hi everyone

My name is Elle. I am 32 getting braced for the 2nd time December 16th, 2010.

Ceramic uppers, metal lowers, will have forsus springs for a lot of treatment to correct severe overbite.

History
- I was a thumbsucker until I was around 10 and then I got a retainer for awhile to correct overbite (I don't recall how well that worked)
- Had braces for up to 2 years, removed when I was 13. I think I wore my retainers until around 20ish ...
