Susan, how interesting that you posted this. Long ago, my sister's family knew that her daughter (now 11) would need braces. Her father, who has had very crooked teeth all his life, promised her that when she had to get braces, he would, too. Last month he had to make good on his promise!

She has to have them for 24 months, and he just has to have his for 20 months, I think, so she's a little envious about that. On the other hand, since she's 11 and he's 47, she's got a huge jump on him for those "pretty smile" years!

I empathize with your aching gums and canker sores. She just came home from school yesterday in pain because she had her braces tightened. It seems to be a constant when your teeth are moving around.

Looking forward to your update when you get them off. Congratulations on making the decision and getting to the halfway mark! That's huge!
