When I was told I wa able to get braces I was stoked, the day I got them went pretty fast, and it didn't hurt. The day I came in to get them I was scared out of my mind. All my friends told me I hurts, and that it takes 3 hours to put them on. I was a little nervous. Now that I to them on, I'm not afraid to smile, they make me feel better about myself, because "brace face" " train tacks" and "medal mouth" are just what people say because they want braces, and are jelous. When people call me names like that, I just think "one day I'll have straight teeth, then you will see who gets the last joke" and so I just want to say thank yo so very much for helping me get my teeth straigh! I'm so much happier
