Re: please advise...on braces off during treatment?

[Guest guest]

Cammie and Giant....

C - I had the same reaction. I have a note posted to my bulletin

board that reads " It is better to be alone for the right reasons,

than with someone for the wrong. " I wrote that when I tried to

muster up the courage to leave a relationship I was not happy with...

on that note, however, realizing cultures out there are so vastly

different...

Giant - where are you from? This tradition is intriguing, among

other things. Talking to your surgeon and orthodontist is definitely

the best option. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm going to assume

you haven't had your brackets on yet... in my experience (of, oh, a

whole big MONTH!), nobody would voluntarily go through bracket

replacements unless absolutely necessary (connie ;-) That is the

last thing I would want to waste another 3 hours on, that's for

sure! But, it has been done... one of the cast members in a musical

I was in had her braces off for performance week.

Good luck with everything, and I hope your decisions lead you to a

happy and satisfying life.

Ok I am totally lost on this one but also intrigued. Lets say that I

HAD to do this due to my cultural beliefs...I would REALLY opt to get

braces, have surgery, recover, and then go find my husband looking

great!! (that would a year and a half at least). I am guessing this

isn't an option? If you take the braces off, go find the husband,

what if he doesn't approve of the braces being put back on or the

surgery? Is there any sort of getting to know you involved, or is it

here's the one-bing-bam-boom married?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on the matter.
