I have been lurking for over a month. I got braced (top) the end of May, and braced (bottom) 2 days ago. It's been an interesting month!
I'm 39 and this is my second go round with braces. I didn't wear my retainer - and here I go. I've gotten great information from this site, and hope to make some new friends.
Thanx,
Armatha

New-I think it's very cool that you and your son are wearing braces together! How long will you both be wearing them?
