I had braces as a kid (and retainers/headgear, the whole nine). They didn't do a stellar job, as I still have some gaps on the top and bottom because a few of my teeth never came in. I also have an overbite that I HATE.
So... I've done all the prep work to get braces again. I'm only 26 and I hate my smile/pictures of myself/etc. Am I crazy to do this? Has anyone BTDT? I asked my husband what he thought and while he was trying to be supportive, he said "it'll be like dating a teenager!"
Braces are expensive and my dental insurance doesn't cover adult orthodontics. Initially, they thought they'd have to break my lower jaw to bring it forward (ugh), but now the ortho thinks he can close the gaps and my overbite with just braces.
Should I just learn to love the way I look, or should I take the plunge and look like a 14 year old for the next 18 months?
