i just love how they look. and it helps being forced to keep everything as clean as possible whereas before i just wasn't doing it.

like i said though, i'll see how things are after 3 years...
plus, there's the fact that i want and need everything to stay in place for the rest of my life and i much prefer the idea and pain of braces than the clumsiness of retainers for 70 years.
maybe they'll come up with some better options, who knows...

all i know is that my family always told me that i'd end up being toothless at 40 at my current rate of care, and i'm out to prove that to be an outright lie and slander...

braces are fun,
au revoir
