I wanna join this brace buddy club too please! I got my braces on August 10th and the first two weeks were awful but I'm getting used to it now. I have to have surgery after a year to move my lower jaw forward.
I'm a 32yr old kiwi and love this forum - its so nice to know I'm not alone.
hippyhippo - what surgery are you having? you mentioned it in one of your posts. I'm getting titanium plates in my lower jaw to move it forward to align lower teeth with upper teeth. Should happen in a years time. I thought your teeth were similar to mine and wondered if you were getting the same operation too.
