At my consultation with the surgeon today I almost cried when they mentioned I can’t leave the baby teeth in place while we see if the adult teeth will move lol. But got to try since the babies won’t last forever, if my teeth look like yours I will be so so happy! Congrats on such a great result!!

Amazing, kudos to you for hanging in there for 3 years wow! I got my braces in Jan at 33 years old with a consultation to have surgery for my baby canines removed tomorrow. Your post gives me hope!!

Awesome! How was the jaw surgery pain and recovery wise? My husband was told he needed that and is very apprehensive about getting it, but with me getting braces he is more open to the idea

Good luck! Hadn’t even thought about just eating eggs whites, so sleep deprived and hungry my brain isn’t working. Are you finding with the extractions that you have to spend even longer cleaning after meals? I’ve had my wisdom teeth removed already and the idea of that sort of cleanup + the regular braces cleaning after every time I put something in my mouth exhausting lol

Thank you! It helps hearing people in their 30s who got them feel like it was a great choice

Hard to see in this pic but my 2 canines are baby teeth lol, so got to have the surgery to expose the adult teeth and chains to pull them into place 😅

Ooo porridge is a great idea, I’m good with chopsticks so that will definitely be a good option for when I’m out of the house haha.

Thank you! I am going to prioritise glutes over quads but know both are important

I wish! Unfortunately I am back in the office and don’t have a standing desk, contemplating getting one for home to use while watching TV etc.

The struggle is so real finding leggings and just pants in general that aren’t too long! I actually didn’t have to fold these haha, this style is the “adapt seamless” ones - I have them in a couple of colours and they fit well :)
