13 days till spacers

Your not far behind me at all!
You have to let me know how the spacers go. I will be getting top braces and spacers on the bottom for my first appointment, I dont need the spacers for the top.
I am so so excited and nervous and fearful all at the same time.
I thought I made up my mind in getting the metal braces, but now I just dont know If I want ceramic. ALL my friends told me not to get them, they say it just looks like you have something stuck in your teeth, (of course they would never tell the person their teeth dont look like they have braces they just look dirty) but part of me really wants them anyway.........I dont know, maybe these random people just did not know how to keep them clean??
