I am an adult male who just got braces today and I've enjoyed reading this board - mucho support! Yes, my teeth itch and I wanna go to the toolbox and find a set of pliers, but I'll get through this.
I'll make sure to check out this site often, as it'll be great support. Has been already.

I know how you feel about running for the pliers. Try being woken up at 3 o'clock in the morning with worst tooth pain ever. But I am still here and so are my braces. You can do it too.
Listen to Karen, she is a very wise girl.
