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![]()

Great you're beginning your treatment and here's to everything going well for you!
If you wish to keep a blog of your treatment, you'll find the blog heading in the blue bar above.
Take good care!
After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
Thank you! That sounds like a great idea![]()
