Hey,
I wouldn't worry about it that much, although it will be very painful (just telling the truth!). The weirdest part is having your lips propped open by the lip stretcher thing while they put the braces on. It seemed like an hour of that. The next weird part is trying to eat or drink and then you have to face all of your friends and family and hear "Oh, I didn't know that you were getting braces ... how cute!" At least you get lots of attention when trying to do anything that requires and id (drinking!)
YOu will be fine ! Keep in touch and post some pictures!

Subject: [adultswithbraces] I am getting braces in 3 weeks
I am 26 years old and finally getting braces in 3 weeks. I am nervous
because I don't know what to expect, but I am excited at the same time
because I will have straight teeth in about 2 years. I guess I am
alittle worried on how I will look in the braces. Does it change your
appearance at all?
