I have just turned 21 and I'm nervous about having braces when I go back to university for my final year.
I have photos of my face and teeth taken for the before photos.
I had to smile with my teeth which I have never done!
I am then given the official consent form.
Both my orthodontists are present and Mr S goes through the form with me outlining the risks etc for my major operation and braces treatment.
I am told my actual surgery will take place at Leicester Royal Infirmary.
I have now been referred to the Maxillofacial Clinic at the Leicester Royal Infirmary concerning my wisdom teeth.
I've recently had my braces removed (May 2009) and now have an Essix retainer for my bottom jaw (to wear at night) and an Hawley retainer for my top jaw with false tooth attached (to wear during the day).
Starting in Aug/Sept 2004 I had Damon type 2 brackets, then In-ovation brackets (replaced March and May 2006) and seven In-ovation brackets without clips (with elastic ligatures).
Total time in braces = 4 years and 8 months!
NB: All treatment is through the NHS apart from implant work done by Mr Ziff which is private.
