hi there zUrA22! i havent got braces yet but since finding this site i decided to start flossing, i didnt really before so of course i wasnt used to it.

oh dear all this talk of wobbly spongey teeth is making me cringe!

23rd of march? not that long now! i get my extractions on the 21st. When i was little my baby teeth always touched edge to edge, and my front teeth were straight when they first grew in (the adult ones) and then got squished up, but it seems like my top jaw is narrow and my bottom one is pointy and ...
