Paperwork phase (pictures)

So I will be posting in this blog for a good couple of years or at least until the take off my braces. My name is Daisy and I'm 17 years old. I have an overjet and need braces, which I'm getting. I don't really want them 'cause I mean I like my teeth the way they are, but my parents don't. I've been looking at blogs about braces and sadly they don't document their experience with enough detail or pictures. I hope I'm able to provide that. So I don't have braces right now which means I can only talk about all the other jazz and paper work.

So my very first appointment (I was 16 at the time) at the dentist consisted of questions like weather I sucked my thumb as a baby (I didn't) or if I had any orthodontic treatment before (I did). Then my doctor explained what he would need to do in order to fix my teeth. Since we agreed to go through with his plan he schedule another appointment for us.

*Since my parents didn't have the money to afford braces I went to a orthodontist that would cover your braces for free with insurance ; however, they only accepted your insurance if your teeth were in really bad shape and they had to submit a form an they had to prove your teeth were bad*

On my 2nd appointment I went in and the they took some x-rays and a bunch of pictures of my teeth. Then they sent them to see if I qualified for free braces and If I did they said the would call me to schedule my next appointment. It took a total of 7 months for them to call me back and they said I qualified (thank god). So my next appointment is March 05, 2013 which is a couple days away. I'm not sure what they're going to do to me, but I'll make sure to put pictures and post them. Now without further ado here is what my teeth look like
The first four pictures are how my teeth look front, left, right and the last one gives you an idea of how big my bite is. The second picture lets you see how my teeth look normally when I smile.
