Well, I can to a decision. After much thought I have decided to get ceramic braces instead of Invisalign. No turning back, I have my x-rays and impressions done today. My first visit is March 21st and I get them put in March 28th.
The process has started..Now, I just have to get:

1. Scaling done to left side (in the morning....right side was done this afternoon),
2. Widsom teeth removed (a whole other terror for me)
3. 3 crowns and possible root canal

Not quite sure why I thought this was a good idea.

More than likely these are things that would have to be done whether you got invisilign or reg. braces...besides, when you get done and have that pretty smile you'll look back and realize it was soooo worth it.
And for what it's worth, I just had my wizzies out two weeks ago and it was a breeze. My hubby went two days after me and his were broken off to the gum line which made the procedure a bit more invasive for him and his recovery was just as smooth as mine. I swear I think the whole wisdom tooth removal bit is way over-done with all the stories out there. Just find yourself a good oral surgeon and I think you'll be surprised how easy it will be.
Best wishes on your road to a beautiful smile!!! I'm excited for you!
