Another Metal Momma

[Carrie]

Hello Everyone!

I am so excited to be joining this group. I've been bugging Sunny for about a week now and she's still nice to me so I decided to come out of the shadows.

I am a 31 year old mom to two girls under the age of 5. I live in the DFW area. I have about 20 days to go until I get my ceramic uppers. Like many of you I've wanted to "fix my teeth" for several years but something has always come up that was "more important".

I look forward to meeting everyone else who is here on this crazy journey especially other moms and those starting treatment in their 30's.

Great that you're introducing yourself to this forum Carrie!

I hope you find this a useful resource during your preparation and treatment!

Wishing you the very best for your treatment!

Hi Carrie,

What a nice thing you are doing for yourself! As a mother myself, I know how difficult it can be at times to set aside the time and/or money to do something for yourself. Kudos to you!

My daughter is now 15, but she has been a great cheerleader for me! I am new to Invisalign (only two and a half weeks into it), and she is getting her "train tracks" off (hopefully) in two weeks. I am a little jealous of her (!) but grateful for my experience because as she moves into her clear retainers, I will truly be able to empathize with her and help support her. In addition, if your daughters ever need orthodontic treatment, you will be in a unique position to help them through those "rough" days!

Good luck, and keep us posted!
