well im 18, and i personally think i look about 16 with my braces. But i went camping with a bunch of older people awhile ago, and i asked someone how old he was, he said he was 26, and then he asked how old i was, so i made him guess. he actually guess about 22!! i was amazingly shocked! now, it wa...

yay i got my wire tightend for the first time today. the assistant said next time i'll probably get a thicker wire. the only thing i forgot to do was ask what the molar bands in the back of my mouth are for. they're only purpose to me seems like they're there to scratch my tounge, but anyways, heres...

im getting my ligs changed next week and cant decide on which colour to get. im thinking green but am not too sure. whats your favorite colour you've had on??

i hardly notice them at all now, im just really curious as to what they are for
