Christmas Parties
I guess this is a strictly adult problem but does anyone dread the upcoming holiday parties that they serve appetizers at. A dinner party I can handle because I can get up and go brush my teeth when I am done, but I find it really hard to do the appetizer thing and talk whith people when I'm not sure whats stuck in my front teeth. Christmas number two in braces, and hopefully the last! ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

No, I guess that's because I'm not part of the endless circuit of parties that go with the season.
I did go to an event last night (not related to Xmas) where there was lots of finger food. I could feel some of it snagging but as we were watching a slide show, I opted for the "finger in the mouth" solution, rather than going to the ladies to do a proper job. As I wear linguals on top, I only really have to worry about what's stuck in my lower braces.

Eh, it's no biggie.
I just swish liquid (whatever I have to drink...hopefully it has vodka in it!
) around to get things loose if they get stuck, or worse case scenario is that i leave the room for a minute and pry the stuff out.
Frankly, I'm not even worried about other people seeing stuff in my braces if something escapes me....because number one, pretty much no one cares or is looking at my braces, so even if there is something, they'll probably miss it. Number two, people are understanding...they know I have braces and can't help being a lisping freak with food in her teeth. They love me anyway!![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Exactly!Well said, though! I think you and I approach this issue in much the same spirit and manner. There's no way I am letting being braced cramp my style in any way.
