Well, I took the plunge last week and got braces put on my teeth. I will have them on for 14-18 months. I'm still feeling very crowded and tender in my mouth. I have to select what I eat carefully, but I'm hoping my teeth will settle down soon. I know it will be worth it, but so far, it's been quite a hassle.

If you can't really see anything, that's the idea. I've got clear ones on my front upper teeth. The rest are old-fashioned metal ones. I wanted to do invisalign, but my tooth rotation made them unsuitable. Oh well, I guess I can't have everything, right?
