I know how you feel (Or felt now since you probably have already gotten them put on. Darn Alaska Standard Time!)

I tossed and turned half the night last night dreaming of teeth. Ugh.

I am new to the club. I got ceramic (clarity) uppers and metal lowers. Its been about 9 hours and I am only experiencing some slight discomfort. I ate from Burger King but I had to break everything in small bites. Kinda use to doing that anyway with my 1 year old daughter. My hubby says I look cute and it makes me look younger. Boy, does he know how to make a woman feel good. Its estimated that I will be in braces for 2 years. I am so scared of eating anything cause I don't want my braces to stain.

So how did it go ManicMomma???? My husband was just in Alaska visiting his brother this past weekend. Too bad I didn't go maybe we could have talked about all this excitement about getting braces.

Thanks for telling me that KK. I was so scared to eat spaghetti and I am so glad you told me that because I was about to give up a lot of foods that I love.
