Yep, I thought after years of visiting the dentist for other reasons -like tooth extractions or, hey, an implant- I wouldn't have to do this too. But oh my, was I wrong. I'm getting braces in two weeks. They are going to be ceramic ones, so way less visible (see pics). I'm actually quite happy, maybe they are even going to look cute!

I'm not wearing them for aesthethics but because my maxilar bones (is that the name?) are slowly moving sideways since my teeth do not close well. So that I might end up like Ace Ventura, which, mind you, has to be very uncomfortable when eating, kissing or just, well, keeping your mouth shut.

Are any of you wearing braces at an age +18?

I felt like this was a teen issue, but I've heard that lately it's become a fashion for adults to wear braces too.
