Like you it wasn't even an option financially when I really needed them in school. I got my top braces on 09-26-06, so we can go along about the same time line except my sentence is about 24-30 months. Good luck and keep in touch with us! 
& yea i have never posted pics on the internet 
but i have got use to it now.
