Wow! That is a bunch of Jan. bracket placements. Mine was Jan. 10th for the seperators and bonded brackets. Then Wednesday the 18th for the bands and archwires.

Granola was supposed to be January but is going to be in early Feb, so He (She?, not sure, never mentioned) should be included in the January club anyway!

It would be kind of cool to seperate out members based on placement month and compare stories with each other.

My one year anniversary of getting braces is on January 31st! :) I guess people like to start the year off anew with braces... January is a popular month! My friend is getting them in a week as well.

I'm sure this is a dumb question....but what does FSA stand for?

That's true, but also, I'd imagine December would be busy for the opposite reason... a lot of people trying to use up their remaining FSA accounts for the previous year.

Or maybe I'm the only procrastinator out there. :P
