New Braces - 05-24-06




Category: Braces | Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 7:42 pm

Well, here I am... a 47 year old single female and I've got braces. Wow! Never thought this would happen. I've wanted them all my life but have to admit I feel a little silly and self concious to say the least.

But... theyre on now and will be on for 10 months, give or take. In approximately 4 months I'll get the lower ones put on. The tops are clear brackets but the bottom ones will have to be metallic. Either way, I get to change the color of the inserts at every adjustment. I've just spent a mountain of money on these so I may as well have some fun with it all.

So far no pain, only achy. After having 3 teeth pulled 4 weeks ago and the ensuing pain, I doubt the braces will hurt at all!

Sooooo.... here I am, the first ones are turquoise and purple in honor of my hunka grandmother who passed away several years ago - our family colors. Pilamyaye Yilo, Grandmother for giving me the wisdom to do what is best for me.

Yea for you...it is hard for us women to give ourselves permission to do what we want or need sometimes.
Besides the braces you take a good picture too.
