So I got through the extractions ok which to me was what kept me from getting braces 12 years ago. Now I'm about to be a 24 year old with a full set of braces for the next 2 years. I just wondered if any of you other adult brace wearers could give me any support about this experience. I am told that the pain will be minimal and cured with an asprin but I am more concerned about my appearance. I have a good job and am currently working on an advanced degree to really get my career started. I am worried that co-workers will make fun of me and that I will appear childish with all the metal in my mouth. I have worked very hard to get where I am and I would hate to lose respect at this point in the game. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm afraid to open my mouth! Any advice is greatly appreciated!
