Not that weird. I have one in my mouth at the moment. Only difference is mine is placed on my lower teeth (usually it's banded to the uppers) because it would interfere with tooth movement.

I think its kinda cool! MusicIsMyLife, is yours in front of the teeth like in the pics in the link above? I'd run up to kids and pretend to be 'Jaws' from the Bond films or Hannibal Lecter... :D

That third pic is a bit misleading. That's what it looks like from the inside of your mouth. Nobody sees my crib unless I open my mouth and tip my head down. You can faintly see the metal peeking through when I smile, but that's only because of my spacing.

That does look kind of scary! But if no one can see it like Music is my life's then I guess it can't be too embarrassing.
