Braces. Does anyone

Braces. Does anyone

Braces. Does anyone else have them? I got mine about  a year ago. I love picking the colors of my bands. My colors now are yellow and black, in honor of the spelling bee. I think next time I'll get teal, since most of my clothes are that color.

Oh, and does anyone else wear those rubber bands that connect their jaws? I HATE them!! The only good thing is that you can shoot them out of your mouth, which is pretty cool. My parents are finding them all over the house: on walls, in the fridge, on their bed, in the garage, etc. They're going nuts! Now I only wear them on one side, which feels really weird.

I had braces in grade 3, and man, it was tough. Curious Dragon just got braces, and she hates them. But really, enjoy them while you can. At least in my opinion, retainers are much worse. I have to wear mine at night, and it really hurts my back teeth. Now my teeth are fine, but the back ones bleed sometimes from the nasty retainer. Good lck to you all.
