I wore braces as a teenager but stupidly never wore my retainer. It never occurred to me how important they were.
Fast forward 9 years I stumbled across a group on voucher for top and bottom arches for a total of £995.
This price did not include an x-ray which was an additional £50.
I choose the particular dentist as they would do treatment up to 9 months of required where as the other dentists on Groupon at the time would cut of at 6 months and charge you if more treatment was required. However the dentist is an hour journey via public transport.
I decided to go for it. As although I am saving for a house. I thought as a new mum this is likely to be the only time in my life that I will be able to afford to do it.
The process has been slow starting. It took ages to get an appointment due to them being busy then I was away on holiday. Then of course having to go else where for an x-ray. This has all coensided with me returning to work from maternity leave.
So it has been about 5 months since I brought my voucher and I am finally going in for my next appointment.
Wish me luck!
I will update at a later date

Braces put on today!

I am about to go to bed and have had the braces on for about 8 hours now. I have managed to eat okay (roast dinner! Made by my nan!!). I am a bit sore but made worse by trying to floss and nightly clean. The discomfort isn't TOO bad. Just achy. I have taken some paracetamol and hopefully might feel bit better after a night sleep.

I am due to have a clean and a filling/bonding on my left central incisor as it is shorter then the right.
I have opted for normal retainer for top teeth and bonded retainer for the bottom set. The bottom brace sould be off next month.

Hi! I noticed your teeth look straight in the last photo you posted, but the bottom row looked like an underbite. I'm curious what the final outcome was with your teeth? I'm disappointed right now, I am 7 months into treatment of 6 Months Smiles, and my bottom teeth do not seem to budge. I had no bite issues when I started, and now I have a major bite problem: my molars do not touch as all.
All the best! :D Definitely keep us updated so we can follow your journey. You're having your braces put on at the next appointment?
