I'm happy for you, Dea. I have appreciated your informative and informational posts here, and since you are in that elite 50+ group in braces, as I am, I don't feel so isolated. When I came to this forum, I mistakenly assumed that I was the only over-50 person in the Colonies (USA) in braces.

Best to you, Dea!!
