Hi Lisa,

What you still doing up at this time of night? Shouldn't you be getting your beauty sleep???

Well, I did the BBC programme a few years back so this is a step up from that, and an addition to my hall of fame!!! I'll have a chat to DG and see what he thinks. He may want a celeb on his website!!!! At least I'm not waiting for the The Sun to ring me up and do a Page 3 spread , eh Lisa??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Julie

well seeing as DG's Top Girl spot is now permanently reserved for me, there might not be much space left on his website for your after pics Ju

As for beauty sleep, some of us don't need it

I am off work now till Tuesday and have all tomorrow and Friday to pamper myself!

I wouldn't be so sure about that Top Girl slot Lisa. Is your photo going on the wall in the new surgery? Thought so!

Hello again, yes, I am from the Guardian, so no topless shots will be required! The reason I didn't put my work email is the last time I posted it on a forum for another piece, I ended up getting loads of spam.

Thank you to all who have replied to me. I am still looking for people (with fixed braces, in the UK, above 25) - especially men, who don't seem to be too brave!

The trouble is a lot of men get braces because they have confidence and self image issues relating to their teeth, and then because we are a bit older we get more of the same because of the braces! I'm only 20 and that is still old enough for me to not know anybody else my age with braces, other than through this forum of course. That is why I would not want my picture in the paper.

And women don't have this problem because...?

Emine, I texted you with my home e-mail address a few days ago.

So, the article is in todays Guardian:

I don't like my picture in the paper version, but the online one is quite good

Are the people on there talking about braces all from Archwired? If so, what are their Archwired names? I want to be able to put names to faces! Well done for everyone who talked to them and had photos done-you're all very brave!

For what it's worth, I was another who was included in the Guardian article and I think all of the pics looked pretty good and the article itself was pretty well balanced.

Cheers

Mike
