Welcome Welcome Welcome. I was excited too. It really is a rewarding experience and honestly you learn alot about yourself, patience, acceptance, and you learn to cope. It sounds corny but I always thought I had patience. Well I didn't have as much as I thought. Feel free to ask some questions and make yourself at home. We know how you are feeling.
I know how you feel StacyJo! My boyfriend is getting pretty sick of me asking what color ligs I should get, and if I should go with metal or Ceramic brackets...hehehe
Thats why it's great to come here and vent sometimes, ask questions, and get some good opinions!!
