I am sure that at 18 years of age you were very mature, I would hope so! I don't expect a fifth grader to be on that level, nor do I expect my daughter. She is extremely mature but I am not blind to the fact that she is still a child at 11. I hope she remains one.
And for everyone else
I got that bite plate put in.... ugh! Now I have something to whine about! lol. Just ask Shana, Janell or Corinne! I have a lisp to end all lisps and I can't chew a thing! lololol Its not cool! lol
They are drawing my back molars out and elongating them in all four quadrants, tilting the front teeth back, while correcting the slight overbite. Its kinda painful but its a process and this MOM doesn't mind...
My mother couldn't afford it when I was younger. Count your blessings. |
Rock on babe lol
OMG I have a LISP too!!
They had to attach a back brace to my bottom teeth because half of them are completely and perferctly straight (from having braces twice already lolol) so they want to make sure the straight side won't shift while the other side is moving into the correct position. I sound like a lisping nut job lolol
Same thing for my hubby. His parents couldn't afford braces when he was a kid. So we're getting them for him now.
