Hello,
I just got ceramic brackets put in today, and I am the only adult in my circle that I know that has braces. I am a 25 year old female, and have been self-conscious of my smile for far too long and decided to get this done. Not a day goes by that I am not trying to hide my smile. I would not let people take pictures of me. My self confidence is about a 1. So, here I am... on the first day of my orthodontic treatment. I do not have the wires in yet, and I am waiting for a call when they can schedule me for 4 extractions (all 4 pre-molars will be extracted) and then they will put the wires in. I bet my mouth will hurt really bad that day! SO not looking forward to it!!!
I found this forum from google, and I am hoping to connect with people for support in similar situations and advice!

I get 4 teeth removed on the 12th, and the wires put in. I have had the brackets for 3 days, and already lost a bracket.
The Crime: Protruding upper canine, upper and lower crowding.
Sentence: 2 years
Fine: $4,100
First day with brackets: 12/05/2011. 4 Extractions: 12/12/11. 1st Adjustment: 01/04/12. 2nd Adjustment: 2/15/12 Pulling the canine down. 3rd Adjustment 3/28/12 (canine's in the wire, and pulled into position!). 4th adjustment: 5/16/2012 (closing the gaps!)
