Hi all I'm 35 and have just been put into full metal braces for the second time as an adult. I got braces put on at 28 and wore them for 3 Yeats and now 4 Yeats on I'm back in full metal braces and elastics for another 3-4 years. I couldn't belive when I was told I needed braces again and that I would be wearing them possibly longer than the first time.
My ortho insisted on metal brackets so once again I'm a total metal mouth, more so this time as she has used tie wires to secure my archwires. Wow - my braces look so much more co pllicaed than before. My elastics are in a triangle config fro! Upper canine to lower and bicuspid so they are now impossible not see. Already I'm looking like a bigger braceface than before. Even tho its pretty embarrassing its pretty exciting too to feel all the hardware on my teeth and the tightness and pressure again. Guess it sounds a bit weird but I found that I came to like that the first time. After the initial pain I found myself again enjoying it this time.
Secretly I love my look, I think it makes me look cute and girly and younger looking. So nice to see a lot more women this time at my ortho,s wearing braces , a lot with elastics too which is nice. A couple of patients I spoke to are expecting 3yrs+ in braces too so I'm a lot happier about my braces this time now there are so manyother s my age going thru this
Its nice getting so much attention for other women, heaps have said how good I look which I like, a lot are curious and want to know what is like. I'm sure a lot find me attractive in braces too. I know now I like the look on women after I first got braces, before I had no idea that it was what I found attractive on some women. Pity guys aren't as accepting about braces, I tink I'll be single for awhile with all this hardware but I'm OK with it.
Would love to chat to others who are braced and like it. I'm so excited about being braced again and can't wait for all the surprises my ortho has is store me this time.
