Wow I really thought you were like 22! I would say to wait until the braces are off. Don’t rush everything! I am also looking to getting braces for the second time! My ortho is charging me 3,900
My wife had a similar experience. She had braces as an adult for about 6 years; 3 years, then off, had to get them on again. Around 6 years total. She was a bad case, had a Herbst appliance, TADs, headgear, expanders, retainers-her mouth was loaded with metal and acrylic. Things eventually worked out. I thought she looked really cute in braces, made her look adorable and younger.
Thank you for sharing. I'm 10 months in and I hate mine. I'm in pain because my jaw line is shifting but my teeth are better looking then ever been. I'm having the gum issue glad you shared your journey it lifted my spirits.
GreenButtaFly Awe, im sorry your having so much pain. I’m happy to know this helped a little & your beautiful smile will be here in no time! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
Girl! I totally understand where you’re coming from; however, you went through so much difficulties, for sure! I honestly went to a few places and there was one that I dived in but the doctor lagged so many weeks to officially brace me up... Because he kept talking about the foundation of my jaw has be aligned first... it was so discouraging for me because I wanted my braces already on! I wasted $$$ there that I never got back and went to another place... years later and I’m now on my journey to straight teeth. I made sure I went to my general doctor’s office to get a cleaning and to have my mouth inspected for any cavities or any work that needed to be done and thankfully, there was nothing to be done but to strengthen a filling which was done the same day! Days later I went to my ortho consult and the doctor was willing to install them that same day. I told him about all my concerns and what I expect from the treatment. When he told me I will only have them for 18-24mons, I just wanted them on to get started! Lol 😆 What I forgot to mentioned is that my general dentist did notified me that I needed to remove my wisdom teeth and to possibly consider an implant because I have one back molar extracted on my lower arch and if I do go along and remove all 4 wisdom teeth, I may experience discomfort when biting down... he said it isn’t necessary but it can be ideal for my case... I referred this to my ortho doctor and he agreed to those terms but he gave me a relief when he mentioned it will not interfere with my braces since they do not get on those teeth ☺️ he did say to get the wisdom teeth out ASAP bc the healing process will be easier when I am younger than when I’m older. Plus, I can get that done while having them on or waiting until they are off... it’s all up to what I can afford and plus the time... I’m sharing all this info solely to help anyone! Sorry for the long comment! Haha 😆 Overall, I sympathize with you on how it worked out but I am so happy that you went on the journey again to a straight smile!! ❤️❤️❤️
I took my son to Western Dental for a consultation and they recommended braces. I ended up going to an actual orthodontist for a consultation and he didn’t recommend them at all. You really do have to do your research.
Omg T^T You know that before 6 months I've take off my braces and now every thing is bad , I have no self confidence,but the only thing that I've loved in my face was my smile , but now every thing is a mess. Now I need to go to doctor and I'm not sure if he'll put the braces on again or not . Iam depressed right now especially that I'm a senior student in the last grad ...💔 Wish me good luck~~
I’ve just had my braces off but they messed up my bottom retainer. It’s been 2 weeks and I still haven’t got my bottom retainer, they have shifted and now are not as straight I’m so pissed but I guess it’s life
I got my braces off a couple months ago.... they told me to wear my retainers every night and I did that and my teeth still shifted... turned out I still had a bad habit where I would push the back of my front teeth when I swallow, talk, etc now I need to wait a couple years till I get it again because my mom is not going to pay for them again ☹️
Yes it's called tongue thrusting, you develop these habits when you're a mouth breather amongst other habits. I did myofunctional therapy to correct it
Omg 😮 let’s you leave without a retainer. And 3years., Omg that tooth. I tell you dental work ain’t cheap. Glad everything is working for you, the pain tolerance is different as you get older and the second time around. Me to 38 wearing them and I’m fixing it before I turn 40.
Rn I have the palte expanders and it's such a hassle to eat with I'm gonna get it removed in 3 weeks and then I get to have my braces. I know it will be worth it in the end tho :)
Oh MY GOD! I would be in that mans office every day until he fixed it, but I feel you. Atleast it’s finally over with. You just had enough. This video helped me so much thx boo🙂
Omg Shia I'm so sorry you went through all of that! You're beautiful with and without your braces!
