30yo Finally Getting Braces - Dallas, TX

I am finally getting braces after putting it off for so long. I just had a consultation and had my teeth xrayed and scanned yesterday. I put $1000 down and will be doing monthly payments for 20 months for about $199 a month. I need to have 4 wisdom teeth and 2 upper crowns pulled out due to constant bleeding in my gums around the crowns. Hoping that my dentist can schedule me in next wk so that I can get my braces put in in 2 wks if I heal fast enough. Also thinking about doing the Acceledent treatment because I am older and would like to have straight teeth faster. However it is an additional 750. Trying to persuade my husband to say yes. Anyways I really can't wait to get them put on!

So I just got back from the dentist and got my premolars pulled. I previously had a root canal and crowns put on them which is why I wanted to pull them out. They were also getting in the way of flossing. The anesthetic is wearing off and now I'm starting to feel a little stinging sore. Really hoping this heals fast. I'm such a wuss when it comes to pain. I'm planning on getting a filling done next wk and then my wisdom teeth pulled middle of next month. Sept 1st is when I get my top braces put on. So excited for that. In the mean time.... I need for this ibuprofen to kick in. I want to be pain free

My teeth sometimes ache esp around my twisted canine tooth. Getting my bottom braces on the 27th and changing out my top wire at the same time. Still haven't gotten my wisdom teeth taken out. Really need to do that soon though. Maybe after I get my bottom braces on.
