So I'm trying to figure out this whole forum, never done anything like this before, a bit difficult navigating through but I'm sure I'll catch on soon! Any tips? I have had my braces for 2 1/2 weeks now :)

Welcome to the club! A good place to start on the forum is in the sub-forum "Articles about braces" http://www.archwired.com/phpbb2/viewforum.php?f=18. The first 24 months are the worst, then it starts to get better :wink: . You'll do fine.

When I first registered I stopped by the Metal Mouth Forum board and the My Braces Stories. They seemed the most interesting and the whole site is pretty self-explanatory.

Hello! I am a newbie too, to both braces and message boards. Hopefully we will get the hang of it, everyone seems very nice and helpful.
