I'm now 23 years old. I had spacers put between my two molars on each side of my mouth, top and bottom.
They hurt being put in.
This is to create room for the new ring brackets on my second molars (the molars before your wisdom teeth).
I also had the rest of my Damon brackets removed and replaced with In-ovation brackets.
Next week I'll be back for my ring brackets.
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.
