I'm also excited about getting them, although I must admit...the first couple of days when the soreness set it, I was thinking, "I wanted this...pain?!" ...But now it's okay and I'm back to being excited again. :) I've only had them for a month, but I think I talk about them more than people ask me about them. :)

Yeah, I turn 30 next month and I just got mine on 2 days ago!! My biggest problem (of course) is not being able to chew properly. From what I gather though, I will adjust and things will be fine! :P
