But I don't think you'll have that problem and hats off to > your ortho! Keep us posted on when you get your braces off. > > Sara > Yes, Sara.. I am older (47) but most of the time I feel so much younger LOL... We still have to pull some molars down so they touch and it will be a process to move more than half of my teeth around to the left. But I really think it will be worthwhile. I will have to wear a retainer for the rest of my life, I'm sure. But I figure that will be worth it as well. A retainer sure beats the embarressment and self- consciousness I felt at my teeth and smile. Right now, nothing really matches so that is a real pain, but as I mentioned to my ortho, a common problem in getting braces. You can bet that if down the road I need surgery, I'll be back to this list! Thanks, Stephany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably plan " c " with my mouth and as things change over the next year, I could progress through d, e and f! But, for now, I'm enjoying the relief. Guess the ups and downs with all of this 'fixing' is part of the process LOL Stephany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
