Welcome to my blog. I'm having braces fitted at the age of nearly 56, and I thought you might find my experiences useful, if you are thinking of doing it too.

Progress with my front teeth!

I've just compared some photos of my front teeth since July 1st when I had the Incognito brace fitted and - I can see that both teeth are already straighter! Of course the left one is still sticking out more than the other, but things are happening! This has made me feel much better, because sometimes I can't wait for it to all be over, and on the other hand, I'm scared about having them taken off!
The food I most enjoy at the moment is a banana sandwich and a fruity yoghurt from Sainsbury's. This is because I can take a big bite of the sandwich and chew it without worrying. There are so many foods that I can't wait to eat again, like crunchy Cox's apples - I'll have to wait until next year to take that big bite. Going to an Harvester today, I did enjoy meatballs with linguine, but I didn't try the grilled gammon incase it was a bit tough. All in all though, I manage quite well, although we have some interesting meals as my husband's on a gluten-free diet at the moment!
I have been watching Rose's progress on YouTube with her Incognito braces. She always cheers me up as she's a few weeks ahead of me, and tells me what to expect next. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpDTSB5qHmk&NR=1
