How I did it: I went to my dentist in November 2007 and told him I wanted to make my teeth straighter. He said that braces were the best option for me so we made an appointment for March to get them put on (he was a busy guy and had no earlier appointments). So they were put on. It was relatively painless... They were sore for a couple of weeks, and then sore again for about 3 days when I got them adjusted the first time. But the pain went away. I wore the braces for 8 months, got them removed in October. Then he put a permanent bar in the back of my teeth to keep them in place. It is glued in and will be there forever making sure that my teeth stay beautiful!

Lessons & tips: Don't hesitate if your teeth cause you any stress or low self esteem. Getting them fixed is one of the best things I ever did, I feel so much more comfortable in my own skin now. It's totally worth the time and the little bit of pain.
