I'm getting a few teeth taken out for my braces that will be fitted...

After they get taken out im wondering how long the process will be that they will close up.

The thing is I'm already 18 and it's bout time I got them sorted out and I just have to get it done and stop making excuses however it's just going to destroy my self confidence...

I need some advice or closure so I can stop worrying about this.. please help

Can your first premolar.tooth be used as a mimic for your canine tooth?

After a lot of dental trauma in my time, I'm finally getting a brace, however my impacted canine and baby tooth are getting removed. And my first premolar is being used as a mimic for this, I just wanted to see if this was right and if it's safe?... they are also removing my first premolar on the other side of my jaw to prevent it looking odd..

I'm interested to find out what ethnicity I could be, I've recently found out I'm adopted, and I've always known I was not the same as my family, all tall, blonde, skinny, model type looking women.

I'm 5'4

Deep olive skin, that never burns in the sun just goes darker

I have orange/hazel eyes with a band of green in them

I have black. Curly hair, and black body hair

I'm a hourglass figure size 10 (size 6 in US sizes)

I have small features like hands and feet

Really weirdly high cheek bones

Trying to be as specific as I can

Okay, so I have natural dark tanned skin, I have natural black hair and orangey-weird hazel eyes, I have dark body hair and I don't look like my family who are all pale skinned, blonde or auburn hair and very tall. This difference between me and them come to my attention when I was on holiday with them a few years back and whilst they were all going red through sunburn I was getting darker and at the time I was so confused that I wasn't the same and I have began hating my traits...

I'm only 5'4 I'm also a hour glass shape (size 6 US, size 10 UK) my family (women) are all pears or straight thin. They all hit the 5'8-5'11 category, I feel so out of place, I'm so different to my parents... my dad is fair skinned who once was blonde before he went grey and he has piercing blue eyes... my mum is also auburn hair with dark eyes... I looked at my family ancestors tree and photos and I haven't inherited looks or traits from any of them, I'm paranoid I'm adopted. I'm 18 and I'm in college so I have bigger things to worry about then this right now but it still chews away at me that if I am why haven't I been told, what should I do...
