Yeah, that's a pretty horrid image. She appears to have half a crane wedged into her mouth!
I had ceramics and unless you were close up you wouldn't even know they were there. White brackets and white wires aren't too bad and the invisalign is ideal for those with minor imperfections to iron out. I see a lot of my university students going for the same thing these days. The mouth full of metal thing should really be a thing of the past by now, there is just no need for it.
I encourage any adult with dental insecurities to at least think about getting it done because it isn't such a big deal anymore. More are doing it and the technology is improving year by year.
They are really weird at first and I was very self conscious, but nobody battered an eyelid really. Make sure you get some of that dental wax stuff as you will find you get more mouth ulcers than usual because of rubbing. That's the worst thing really. I was caught on the plane to the UK without any and paid the price, I got a nasty old butchering. Always be prepared.
Yeah nobody has really noticed, or said anything unless i've pointed it out to them.
They gave me dental wax. Only really used it once though. Haven't needed it so much yet. I've got a bit of a lisp at the minute and if i talk too much, my lips get caught on the brackets
So yeah, fun experience. When i tell someone i've got them in, they make me show them. That's annoying because i don't really like my gnashers (hench the brace), but i'm even getting used to that now.
I'm going out with Gate and her mates tomorrow night so i guess i'll be spending the night with my mouth wide open while a crowd of strangers fill their boots. The night better have a happy ending.![]()

6 months for the top set and 2 years for the bottom. No idea why, as the top ones are more crooked. I do keep wondering what i've got myself into, but then i just have to remember that my teeth have bothered me all my life. What's another 6 months when i could end up with a nice smile at the end of it.
I'm not bothered about the bottom brace being on anyway. It doesn't annoy me. Just the top one.
