I’ve been wearing dental braces since May 2005. Yesterday, I was finally relieved of this steel contraption in my mouth, and I could enjoy having straight and aligned teeth. One year ago, my eyeteeth were sticking out like vampire teeth, but they have been pulled to the right position now.

Even though my braces have been removed, I have a glued wire behind the teeth that hold them in position. I also have a type of plastic brace that I put over my teeth during the night. This ensures that the teeth stay in the same position during the night.

It feels great to be free from the braces, and I am not disappointed with the time that I’ve worn them. To anyone who thinks of getting them I would recommend you to take it. They don’t hurt too much and you get used to cleaning  your teeth as thoroughly as you need. Since I am under 19 years of age, I don’t have to pay for my dentist visits, so this has been an all-win situation for me.

The dentists were really nice to me all the time, and my time as a patient at Folktandvården Svartån will be a good memory.
