I saw my mum today and she noticed that ever since I had started braces procedure, my jawline seemed to have somewhat dropped...I have no idea how but I hope it isn't so. :(

Please keep posting. I am very interested in how this all works and if you are worried about your jaw go see the Orthodontist if you are concerned.

I forgot to mention, the projected time for being "locked in" is 18 months. Couple of guy friends said good luck on social/dating life. Lol!! Silly boys. I probably will feel more conscious once bottom ones are put in.

It is weird though, I always seem to have to announce to people when I am out that I have braces, I am sure that they can see them.

Thanks for sharing your story with us. I suppose you'll find out about social life/dating, but I doubt anyone will even notice unless you're feeling self-conscious about it. Please keep us posted!

Hi, I will be getting Damon Braces soon.. Probably metal on top and bottom.. I'm a 44 year old working professional woman.. I'm a receptionist at a law firm... Was thinking about getting the clear Damons on top teeth but I heard they are very bulky and my teeth are very protruding as is that I'm afraid I will not be able to close my lips mouth with the ceramic braces being soo bulky.. THat's why thinking of just going with metal because of the less bulkiness.. Also, I have a slight lisp now because of the misalignment of my teeth.. How bad does the speech get with the braces.. I can not have my speech to get worse than it is already.. I heard some people just have a speech problem the first few days than they are good and speak normally which I hope happens to me.. I will be taking a few days off from work to get used to the braces and speech...

Hi sorry I’m just now reading this. Sooo how did it go? Did your speech change a lot? Do you like your new straightened teeth?
To be honest, profile of my top mouth drooped down because of the straightening and I didn’t like that and my smile is different in that my top teeth don’t show so much! So I’m hoping they come out again in time.
