Look who is sporting a nice set of braces! That's right I got braces about 4 weeks ago and I feel like I look 10 years younger. On my recent trip to Nebraska, I went to visit my younger sister at her work, and a coworker of hers said, "Oh, you brought your younger sister in to visit." Then my baby sister called me "The Thirteen Year Old" the whole trip. I've also lost a few pounds because it was pretty painful to eat for the first week, and I haven't been snacking as much because of the whole food getting stuck in your braces thing. So, if you want to lose weight, getting braces is a great option to consider:)
I must say that I have been surprised at how big of an adjustment getting braces has been. Talking with braces has been especially hard because my top lip gets caught on my braces. I talk differently with braces. Another change has been allowing 5 minutes for flossing instead of 30 seconds. Also, I am limited on what foods I can eat. When I get these off the first thing I am going to do is bite into an apple, and eat corn on the cob :) Also, I wasn't prepared for how young these braces make me look and how nerdy I feel. But, a little pain and a little bit of feeling nerdy will be worth it to get straight teeth.

Oh how I feel your pain right now. I hated how I talked with braces on, I had a permanent lisp that drove me crazy. It will get better though...and it is so worth it.
Looks like you guys had fun on your trip.
Jess you know I know your pain. After all I had them twice! It does hurt so bad. I know that this is really late but I finally have some time to sit down and check up on people.
