Bummer the braces didn't come off, but it's better to have everything corrected. A few more weeks after all this time is nothing!

Now you need to change your name to BigBulkyNightGuardNightSplintThingJOE! :D

Joe, sorry that you have another 2 weeks in braces! But as for no more headgear--congrats! Hmm, now to think of what to do w/that headgear now that you don't need it. Hehe, maybe find a moving steamroller and throw it under the front of it!

Sorry to hear you've been delayed yet again, HGJ.

The mouthguard thing sounds like what I've got. I gagged on it the first time I stuck it in my mouth, but am entirely used to it now.
