How to get braces
It made me
 "So far, so good."
How I did it: I said to myself "if I'm going to get my teeth straightened, I want the whole thing done by the time I'm 40 years old". Setting this goal helped me get things in motion. Lessons & tips: I had to have 4 teeth pulled about a month after the braces were put on my teeth. Ouch! Resources: archwired.com is great for adults! |

It made me
Happy!
How I did it: I told myself I was going to FINALLY use my Dental Insurance that I still had through my old job. Well, After going to about 5 dentist I finally found one who told me he could do it in 6 months (all the others said 1-2 years! and wanted 4-5K). I got the express invisalign so thats why it was so quick. (Not sure if thats what its actually called). Its painful but sooo worth it. My teeth are perfect and I have never been happier or so confident. Read how I did it…

It made me
happy/sore 
How I did it: i went to three different orthodontists until i found one i liked. he is really nice, his name is neal murphy. i had to have surgery done on my gums too, so i have stitches all over my gums :[ then the braces put on .. all in one sitting, so i am extremly sore. but no worries! i am drugged up exactly how i am suppose to be :] so it's not that bad. it sucks because i had to take like 5 days off from work, but at least i finally h… Read how I did it…

How I did it: My experience was not as awful as some. I did not need to pull any teeth nor did i have rubber bands attached during my time. Although metal wires can be a bit unattractive, definitely worth the time. Braces straighten teeth like magic! Read how I did it…
It made me
nerdy, but happy
How I did it: Overal I'm definately glad I got braces put on. (it's crazy how a bit of metal can be so expensive). Sadly it made me less confident, and I really thought I wouldn't mind braces - they just look so nerdy on me. Funny thing is, I see a lot of people with braces on and I think that they look fine. As for me, I think I look pretty lame lol. O well. Im glad I did it, and I know im going to be super glad with the results. Remember - the s… Read how I did it…

It made me
feel great
How I did it: Well from the age of 12 I realized that I "needed" to get braces. Unfortunately my parents never had dental coverage which meant as I child I never had dental coverage. Paying out of pocket was also not an option. A few years ago after I graduated college and landed my first real job with dental benefits, I started doing research and discovered a new procedure for 6 month traditional clear braces. The majority of the expenses… Read how I did it…

All I want for christmas
3 weeks ago
I hate my teeth, as far as teeth go they are not the worse, they are white, all a good even size and shape and quite pretty apart from the fact I have a big over bite that I am so ashamed of that I never really smile or I force it or hide it in some pose or another and have very low self esteem about my mouth. I am 20 and getting my brace this christmas, I couldn’t get one when I was younger for various traumatic dentist experiences and am worried and excited for what is going to change my life.
Should get them on soon.

I can’t wait. I should have my braces on sometime next month. It’s going to cost $6,000 and I will have them on for 2 to 2.5 years O_O. But it will be worth it in the end.

i guess i’ve started this list of things, well i don’t know why but it seems sort of fun. i want to get braces because my teeth look jacked-up. my parents may not have enough money for them. but i guess i can live without them.

6 months today...

...And my top teeth are nearly done. There’s a complication, however, with one of my bottom teeth, which has meant I’ve had the wire removed for now. There are always possible complications, but other than the pain I didn’t expect any, so I’m a little disappointed. One of my teeth has darkened slightly, and my orthodontist can’t tell why, so I have a referral to see a specialist. Let’s hope it works out okay.
Other than this blip in my treatment, getting the braces was a total no-brainer. Yes, they’re expensive, yes you get crap stuck in them and yes it hurts after tightening. But having beautiful teeth is something I’ve always dreamed of… So it has to be worth it =)
