Wow! You got the fancy ones, huh? I had the regular old metal mouth ones minus all the rubber bands. In fact, I just had them removed last summer. It was a painful 16 month journey, but SO worth it. Even if I couldnt eat licorice or popcorn.

You will be so happy when its all over! Just make sure you invest in some advil!

Capri Kel – You are mean! I am such a sensitive guy too…

Loretta – now they can’t get you to stop kissing boys…just kidding…anyhow, we should go on the Amazing Race!

Kim – I think that’s why I never fooled with it earlier…I couldn’t see me in metal…not as an adult when I finally had the money. I am excited for these ones though!

ETW – they quoted me the same price for invisalign and metal…so it was an easy choice. I sort of think they quote a price based on how you are dressed though…if I had it to do over, I woulda worn an old greasy wife-beater!

Emily – you are my FAVORITE wife!

Gizmo – I will def post more as my treatment progresses. My teeth are super tender right now so I know it’s working…but I don’t have much good to say yet…

Caprilis – the first hour or so was awful…I was leaking spit and talking all weird and stuff. I got over it quickly though…this one woman slapped me in the grocery store…I guess she thought I was whistling at her!

WOW, good for you! Like the others, I had metal ones as a child, and didn’t wear my retainer. Were we ALL bad kids?? Anyway, now I need them again too. So, Non-MetalMouth, please post the good and bad about them. We’re all waiting to hear!
AND, Go get her Emily!!!

I wore the metal braces as a teen, but also didn’t use my retainer as instructed, so my teeth could use a little help too. A co-worker of the Evil Twin used the Invisalign and she has such a gorgeous smile now. My oldest (11 yr old) will need braces in a year or two, maybe we should do them at the same time? Depends on how expensive those Invisaligns are, I suppose!

I’ve had braces…twice. Once as a child who did not end up wearing her retainer so I got them again in my mid 20′s. Braces suck frankly…your new fangled aligners look wonderful compared to being a brace face or metal mouth!

Can’t wait to see you and Dancing with the Stars…we’ll call you Twinkle Toes! Kim

I had the old metal kind. I was so afraid of kissing a boy and getting stuck. I stayed away from the boys during that time. My teeth did get straight but some off them went back in place.

Someone here at work had the same invisible ones. Made it hard for them to talk and you start staring at their teeth until you figure it out. I hope it is easy for you to wear and you get the straight teeth you want. After that…

I know a girl who had those, it was amazing how they worked!
Someday, you will look gorjamous, but for now, I’ll call you BRACEFACE!
