Mum & daughter brace date - day 1. So excited to be doing this journey with my 13 year old ASD daughter as a 29 year old mum.

It's been 95 days and my teeth are so ugly now. I kinda wish I didn't get braces... Orthodontist said that we should be starting the gap closing process for my next appointment. I'm thinking about just calling quits on the entire process and have my teeth move back where they was... Any experience?9mo ⋅ Xavi592 ⋅ r/braces

Back in rubber bands again and they hurt. These are the 6mm (1-4) Heavy bands. Ortho said it’s time to start fixing my bite some. Instructions are 14 hours a day NO MORE. I’m doing 8pm to 10am so I don’t have to take them out to eat as often.3yr ⋅ mgpro83 ⋅ r/braces

My teeth feel so much worse than before. The above picture is 1.5-2months old. The bottom one is today’s pic after my first adjustment.

Day 4 of having braces and it’s taken a toil on my mental health. Just a preface, I have some social anxiety. Not only am I more self conscious of this in my mouth but also that I speak a little funnier.
