That's ludicrous! I didn't realize it had been that long until I saw my ticker after not checking this in a while. I had my canine exposure surgery about 2 weeks ago. I won't go into too many details, but I recommend getting put to sleep to have this done. Maybe not if your tooth is pretty visible. ...

So it's been a month or 2 since my last post. I have for the most part gotten over being so insecure about having braces. This excludes one night when I was black out drunk and thought a guy made a condescending comment on my braces. Turns out he had just gotten braces off and I was being a dramatic...

your band colors make me regret getting ceramics! My bands have stained yellow now : (

Jess: I understand completely as well. I wouldn't smile in pictures... even my wedding pictures. My confidence was low but since I've had braces for 7 months and my teeth have changed so much, you can't get me to stop smiling. Lol So It's definately worth it! Congrats on getting braces and good luc...

Thanks for the encouragement Elle! Today is the first day I feel semi-normal. It doesn't feel like I was roundhouse kicked to the face. Solid foods are still just a fantasy, sigh. My friend has the worst timing, she bought me a 2 lbs bag of pistachios without thinking....or she's just a b@*!h.

This really makes me appreciate my boyfriend. You did choose to get braces, however, you're very brave to do so and probably not that thrilled about the whole process either. I HAVE to do this, I don't want to. My mom was a single parent without health insurance, so now I'm 24 with braces that I'm p...

I have an insane urge to eat cheddar popcorn, and I don't even really like it that much. palmface.

Yikes!! So here they are...in all their glory. That little tooth that doesn't match the others is my baby tooth hanging on for dear life. The adult tooth is VERY impacted and requires gum surgery. The other adult is hanging out behind the baby tooth that I had pulled about 4 years ago. I am SOO read...

OOOOooo My profile is all fancypants now and I can add images! Pictures soon

Thanks guys! This website is really great, considering no one I know past the age of 13 can relate to me :) Well, I'm on day number 6 of these brace things... I miss the crunch of veggies with hummus and chicken Caesar salads. I attempted to finely chop a chicken ceasar salad on my 2nd day... that d...

This will be me once I can afford however much the surgery is going to cost. I have my consultation with the oral surgeon in 2 weeks because my baby canine never fell out. NOT looking forward to it! My braces are already costing me a fortune (even though it's so worth it!) Good luck with everything!...

Can't wait to proudly smile everywhere I go, and be confident in pictures for the first time! I hope these 2 years fly, how much longer do you have them on Kelly?

Pretty teeth! You'll have those suckers off in no time! Spaces seem to close pretty quickly.

Thank you all so much for the support!! I feel a bit better about my braces today. I'm being my typical bubbly self and trying to remember that the more "me" I act, the more I attract people. Nothing worse than a sad, boring girl with braces! I think I've already seen some movement in my c...
