getting bottom braces on tomorrow morning! + new color?
« on: 25. May 2023, 19:38:22 PM »
So I have my top braces on (its been a few weeks) and tomorrow at 10am I'm finally getting my bottoms on! Also a thicker wire up top, and the chance to change the color!

I'm really excited (and a little nervous) to get the bottom on.  Excited from a kink standpoint just about being in the chair again, the cheek retractors in, getting more "work" done, taking in the new look after and feel of braces on ALL my teeth, and possibly having a lisp (I kinda want a slight one lol). It'll be so exciting to finally have the full set of braces and 'brace face' look haha. All of that is fun for me.

 Sliiiiightly nervous though about the fact I really won't be able to hide them in conversation after...but maybe it'll be good because others will for sure notice them and I wont have to keep wondering if they saw or not? I guess also somewhat worried that they'll make my cheeks puff out and it'll look like that for the whole year or so I have them (and my cheeks are already on the fuller side). Kinda a dumb and vain concern, but it's there..hopefully it doesn't do that noticeably (after the initial sores go away).

But besides those two little worries, I am really excited to get them on! I just can't decide what color to switch to now! I don't want anything light cause that'll definitely stain (I have the occasional coffee/tea). I thought of rainbow but I dont think I'm confident enough yet to go that crazy lol.  I do like the silver look for sure, but I'd feel a little bored to not try something new. Want something more fun for summer.

Anyone have any color suggestions for me? Or ones that they liked on themselves?

I'll update about how it goes tomorrow if anyones interested.

Great news for you to finally have your bottom braces on. I think the whole set is the best and like you said, with the bottoms, there won't be any doubt for others you have braces (they often are more visible than the top ones). You'll probably enjoy it a lot.

For the colors, I did not have this opportunity during my treatment but I suggest for you to get summer color like orange, coral, yellow, pink or red.

Well, I got them on this morning and picked a teal color thats really nice! I like the new color a lot!

I guess short summary of the installation if anyones interested:

It definitely went faster this time. The ortho put in the white cheek retractors from the start too which I much preferred, and installed the bottom front 6 brackets in one go. I remember feeling pretty turned on at the start..just being in the chair, being "worked on" on display with the retractors in, and with how fast I was getting braces on. Also had to wear this big ugly glasses (uv protection, but they were really ugly) that made me feel more embarrassed. This other ortho would come to check the positioning of the brackets and make small adjustments before they sealed them with the light...which made me feel even more like I'm a project being worked on. Especially when he and my ortho would take technical things about bracket placement and what should be done....I felt like an experiment and submissive and it was enjoyable for my kinky side lol. 

Getting toward the back teeth, my turned on feelings became replaced with a need to pee though, so that ruined a bit of the fun unfortunately lol. Wanted it to speed up near the end.

She put in a slightly thicker wire on the bottom right away (since my teeth are pretty straight), and getting the wire installed felt really good...I enjoyed all the sensations.  I didn't have the top wire changed, but I picked a new color and I surprisingly really liked the tugging feelings of having those elastics all changed with the tool she used.  Definitely look forward to that again..and next time I'm getting thicker wires in both rows ^.

The feel of the new lower brackets is crazy haha. It's hard to describe how I feel about it...it feels both foreign but also very right in a way? Like I finally got what was missing. Not as shocked by how they look as I was with the top row...it also just looks right in a way? Like I'm just supposed to have braces lol. I really want to get over my fears and smile in them/show them off, but we'll see.

I can't believe I have a full set of braces now!! After so many years of having this kink and thinking I would NEVER get braces (mortified me, just the thought), here I am...a brace face at 24 (going on 25).  It's so crazy. I'm kind of wanting to get some kind of headgear now, just for fun to attach to these and take pics in....that could be fun especially now that I have the full set.

I'll send pics of the new color if anyones interested btw!

Hey there and big congrats for being completely braced now.
Didn’t you write something about spacers they put you in last time?
That was the first sign that you might get some bands fitted. Usually the are used if any kind of external appliance, like headgear, shoud be attached…
Looking foreward to see you pics ????

Congrats on graduating to a full on braceface! And great color choice!

In terms of appliances like headgear, im unfortunately subject to a very boring treatment, as I've yet to have appliances of any kind installed.  :'(  I definitely hope your treatment turns out a great deal more interesting than mine! Of course, I'm def looking forward to investing in some custom fakes, and will most certainly be going all out for those with as many appliances and attachments as the company will allow, so even if your treatment ends up being relatively uneventful, you've got that to look forward to.

I hope you can get past the initial fears and right into smiling a lot more real soon! It would also be super great to see some pictures for how they look now that you've got the full set! Thanks for the update!  ;D

definitely recommend getting some headgear... I had a couple different ones (bought on eBay) when I had my braces: a standard face bow, neck strap, then also a high-pull strap. also a second 'cushion loop' face bow. Wore them quite a bit when traveling (usually just in my hotel room, but occasionally while driving too).

Congratulations on getting your bottom braces on! I can sense your excitement and a little nervousness, but it sounds like you're embracing the experience with a positive mindset. I'm glad you're looking forward to the new look and feel of having braces on all your teeth.

It's understandable to have some concerns about visibility and how they might affect your appearance, but remember that braces are a temporary part of your journey towards a beautiful smile. And hey, having a slight lisp could even be a quirky and endearing aspect! As for color suggestions, how about trying a vibrant shade like purple or electric blue for a fun and summery vibe? Can't wait to see pictures of your new teal color! Keep us updated on how everything goes.
