Hello I'm J Woods, it's an alias because I like to be incognito on the web . Anyway, I just got my braces put on and I feel so weird. It is a new experience for me and I am trying to keep up my morale everyday. I feel that having braces should not be shameful, as it is a positive thing for someone to do for themselves. I am taking this as a learning experience to find out how to be the best me possible with braces.

I like this forum because I ask a lot of questions and it's nice to be around people who understand. I look forward to chatting with you guys and I hope to have a wonderful time here!

Welcome to this forum and I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here!

Great that you're happy to be able to have braces to correct your bite.

I've had braces for nearly three years and most of the time I forget I have them. I've not met other adults with braces, other than those who are treated by the orthodontists' I work for, and most seem a friendly and positive bunch.

Here's to this being a positive experience for you!
