WORTH IT$5,400
I have always been self conscious about my smile. At 31 and a mother of two I figured it was time to get it corrected. I was originally interested in Invisalign however after two consultations it became clear that I was not a good candidate. So I'm going with the Damon system braces. I will also need an appliance to pull my jaw forward. So far my experience has been pretty painful but hoping it's worth it!

Holidays and new wires
So we had a rough thanksgiving ???? while I was attending a wedding in LasVegas my husbands grandma suffered a stroke. So since his family came to be by her side we threw together an impromptu Thanksgiving dinner. It was stressful, but very glad I was able to do that for the family. She did end up passing away on Friday. Today I had my orthodontist appointment and was fitted with a new wire, which was quite painful to put in! I felt like the assistant was going to pop my back molar out!! Then after that was done the orthodontist came, took a look, and decided I needed my bracket moved on the left front tooth. Took the bracket off which was also quite painful! But it's all working and I can see a huge difference. Dr. Says that next appointment I can get the build ups taken out, Thank Goodness!!! Here are my 10 week picture update :)
Thanks for sharing your story. When do you get the appliance for your jaw, is it at the same time as the braces?
I see, thanks for the feedback. Hang in there!
