Nobody was worried for the moment, so we are adults and we wear them because we want it :D nobody has to worry about it, only people who have deep complexes Sorry, I'm a poor spanish and still don't know what is a ocean ...

Hola Dena!
I also love your attitude, follow the advices from the people in the forum as KK (salt rinses and lip wax) and try to enjoy the disconform the braces do.
