I finally got around to taking some before photos of my teeth. It's now only 6 days until i get my braces put on and i'm getting excited. Today I got one tooth extracted (upper right 5) and it's actually been fine, no pain although i almost fainted int he dentist after i had it done!
Right now i'm worried about how restricted i'll be food wise when the braces are on, but i've stocked up with soup for emergency rations. I also need to get together a little travel brushing kit for brushing after eating, it will take some getting use to.
So here are my photos from a few days ago and today after I had my tooth out. I cannot wait until this is not the teeth i see when looking in the mirror, roll on Brace day! My apologies before hand as my teeth are a mess with lots of fillings/root treatments etc.

Next time I post here I hope to have my brace face on, and will hope to post regularly with my progress and just generally how things are coping with them, so check back soon.
