I've quit snacking. Especially sticky stuff. I'm obsessive compulsive when it comes to cleaning my teeth.

I take a lot better care of my teeth since getting braces! :D

I'm a lot less self conscinece of my smile, I guess its because its more of a work in progress now and its improving! :wink:

I can't whistle, not that that's a positive but oh well! :roll:

I can't say that I don't snack anymore... I wish! :roll:

Interesting post though! :D

This is an AWESOME thread...I love it!

For me:

*Eating less candy -- and more fruit since it seems to "clean" out my
brackets so nicely :-)

*Feeling like I'm 12 again (although this is a down side as well
sometimes!)

*Having an instant conversation piece to talk to kids (at work) about.

*Getting time off to take care of all these dental appointment, and
using discomfort or inability to talk as an excuse to go home early
...heh-heh ;-)

*Taking better care of my teeth and looking *forward* to dental
appointments!
