yennie's [blank] adventure
I'm getting my braces on tomorrow so of course I'm so nervous I can't sleep tonight. Guess it's a good time as any to start my "journey" thread. When I was little, my old family dentist, somehowm pulled one too many teeth out. I didn't know this until I started working and went to a new de...

braces at the workplace?
I was wondering - how does everyone deal with the pain of braces at work? I recently got 8 spacers put in and my mouth is in constant agony.
