Bracing for it

1 Aug

When I was a teenager, my mom asked if I wanted braces.

“No!” I answered. What kid would want their teeth to be pushed and pulled by metal torture devices?

Well, even though I wish I had said yes back then and I wouldn’t be sitting here 10 years later with said devices on my teeth for the past month, I have to say that I’ve noticed improvements already! One of my prominent teeth is now not so prominent. It’s not perfect, and I still have months of braces to go, but it’s kind of exciting!

P.S. If you or someone you know is also an adult in braces, check out archwired.com. It has a lot of helpful info specifically for adults and also a message board.
