27 Year Old from UK, Damon Braces Review...my Journey! - Burnley, GB
ORIGINAL POST
Hello, I am a 27 year old female from the UK, and...
WORTH IT
Hello, I am a 27 year old female from the UK, and have hated my teeth my whole life. I refused braces at 13 years old (stupidly) and its been my biggest regret. I never smile with my teeth as I am really self conscious. I have been with my fiance for 8 years and we want to plan our wedding, however I have always said to myself I will get braces before I do because I want to be able to smile confidently on my wedding pictures. So this is my motivation to finally get straight teeth. My front teeth cross over and I have a 7mm over bite and crossbite. I read tonnes of reviews on this website and other places so I finally took the leap! My braces cost £2700 and I will need to have them on for 12-18 months. They have been on for 2 weeks now and I have to say I am so happy and am already smiling normally and I can feel my confidence rising already. I will write my account of having them fitted a little later and post some pics. I hope this review will be helpful to anyone considering Damon braces. X

Week 3 with Braces.
So this is my third week of having braces. I feel like they have been on forever!! I am feeling a little more tension in my brother bottom teeth this week especially my bottom canine which is rotated. Hopefully that means it's moving. It's still annoying eating and getting food stuck in the braces, though I think I'm getting more used to cleaning them. I realised today I haven't eaten a sandwich in 3 weeks...as it's still difficult to bite and fairly uncomfortable. However I've lost 6 pounds so far from eating less and eating better, so there is a plus! I'll update a photo tomorrow hopefully.

Thanks for sharing your story. It sounds like despite some initial discomfort, you're getting used to having the braces. Do you know how long you'll have them?

Between 12 and 18 month, hopefully! They are fine now I only notice them when I'm eating. I get my wires changed on the 25th September so hopefully my orthodontist will notice a change!

I had Damon braces fitted when I was 26, my motivation was the same as you, I wanted lovely straight teeth on my wedding pics. I'm in Australia, they cost me $7000, I had them on for 17 months and there were days when I wondered why on earth I had had them put on lol! I found eating difficult, most food I cut into small pieces before eating even sandwiches and things I would break up so I wasn't having to bite into them and get stuff stuck in my braces. Every time they changed my wires it was really painful for around a week and then it would settle down again :) I'm just over a year brace free now and I love my teeth, the best time and money I ever spent totally 100% worth being in braces as an adult :) your going to have a beautiful smile, enjoy

It's soo nice to hear other people's experiences. Thanks for you comment! Did you get married then? 17 months sounds a long time! I'm really hoping it won't take that long but it will be soo worth it! Can't wait to be able to smile with confidence! X

Yeah I had them off in July last year and we got married in December :) 17 months felt like a long time while they were on but as soon as they came off I was like that really wasn't too bad! One year with them off came sooo fast lol! My sister had braces put on around 5 months before I did and she had them taken off 5 months after I did! So I was pretty happy mine had been so quick in comparison. That day they take them off and you look in the mirror and smile is crazy I just couldn't stop looking lol! :)
