We can't change our past which I know is such a cliche.. but.. good for you for making that appointment.

I opted to get braces when I was approaching 40. I had a lot of crowding, a slight overbite, and other issues. I always hated my smile so I dived in.

I was accused of being "vain" and "gullible" for "falling for the advice" of a dentist who just "wanted my money". "Oh brother.".... my lovely sister.

I had the mould. I could visibly SEE the issues. It wasn't in my head. I wasn't gullible.. and I was most CERTAINLY not the first person on the PLANET to get braces.. so, I ignored the feedback.

I am much more comfortable with my smile now. I don't even think about it anymore.

Enjoy this journey! You have nothing but gains here. All the best to you 🤗
