As you most of you probably know from my other posts, by the end of the month, I will be getting braces on my bottom teeth. Getting my teeth straightened has been a lifelong dream of mine and now its finally almost here. While I am really excited about this, I am also a tiny bit nervous because this is something completely new for me and Im not sure what to expect.
I would love to hear from anyone who has or has had braces. I am getting the traditonal "railroad tracks" braces because DR. Katy feels this is best in my case and with the added benefit that insurance will cover 60% of the cost. I am wondering what its going to feel like to have metal brackets and wires in my mouth? Do the brackets ever fall off? Do they make your teeth hurt? Are they affected by hot or cold? Are there things you cant eat with braces. I have this terrible vision of brackets falling off in my food.
Well, anyway I could use some feedback. After I get the bootom teeth done, I will getting braces on the top so I will be wearing them for most of the next 4 years.
Thanks!
