I found out I need them.

I found out about a month ago from my dentist during a routine appointment that I needed to see an orthodontist about my teeth. I never had them when I was a teenager because I had poor oral hygiene habits and that carried into my twenties. I started seeing a dentist regularly again and got my teeth back to where they should be.

I went to the orthodontist this morning and found out I need braces and should have gotten them back in my teens when it wouldn't have been so bad to fix them. I'll be getting an expander and headgear plus brackets for at least the next two and a half years. I'm slated to get them in mid-September. I'm looking forward to getting them started but know it will suck.
