So, here I am, 48 years old, and while in the process of getting numerous things in my mouth fixed, *before* getting a bridge made for one spot on the bottom, DH asks me if maybe, before (or instead of) putting in the bridge, might I be a candidate for braces? He urges me to find out as he knows how self-conscious I have always been about my terribly crooked bottom teeth. Well, lo and behold, the answer is YES. At the last visit I had with my regular dentist, *he* said that he figured I could wear them, so he referred me to a WONDERFUL orthodontist (whom I saw last Wednesday), who also said "YES!!" to braces for me, and so I went back this past Saturday and had them put on. Just the bottom teeth, but still, now this nearly-50-year-old has a new look, LOL!! And of course, me being me, I just HAD to have the hot pink bands put on. Can't go pinkless now can I? < =D
So now I'm wondering: Has anyone else here worn braces as an adult? Got any helpful hints or tips for this (old) newbie?
Braces - I just got 'em!!
