    New to braces - 24 years old

    Hey! I'm a 24 year old paraprofessional (glorified teaching assistant/baby sitter) in a preschool special needs classroom.

    When I was a kid we really didn't have the money to get me braces, but now that I'm done with college and have a well paying job, I can get them for myself!

    As of right now I've completed my consultation and insurance visit. I've had my molds and x-rays done, and spacers were put in this afternoon. Let the discomfort begin! Only two of my teeth hurt right now, but we'll see how I feel tomorrow haha.

    I'm SO excited to finally be doing this
