Well hello all. I'm new to the message board and I'm learning my way around. I figured out that my braces story belonged in a different spot so I moved that.
I love reading everyone experiences with braces. It really does help me. I'm 26 and have recently had the majority of my braces put on so I'm going through the tough stuff now. I've heard adults have a harder time with braces but I'm hoping for the best and trying to stay positive.
I posted my braces story so far in the "our stories" section... I think that's what it's called.... I hope to get pictures up soon.
