Braces and your kids

Are you embarrassed to go to your child's school where their classmates are braced too?

I had some 10 yr old freak out and think we've got "something in common" like she's going to give me advice on how to wear braces.

I'm not embarrassed to have braces. I was more embarrassed pre-braces because of my crooked teeth.
My daughter is in braces as well. It is something special to share and I feel happy inside when I see other children in them.

I wouldn't be embarrassed at all. Im not. I'm 26 with braces and my 13 year old brothers (yes, brothers- they are twins) both have them. So it's neat to kid around with them about them. It's neat because I was the one's calling them "braceface" last year, and this year I'm right back in them.

Fun times!

Well, I'm embarassed because of braces generally - but I like talking to the kids about our braces. I get tips from them.
