So do you guys have braces?
I do...  I just got them tightened today and it hurts like hell. But my teeth look so much better now so it's all cool. But 4 years is such a long time... *sigh* I can't believe I have to enter college wearing braces... |

Aww... hope your mouth feels better.
 Eat ice cream!I never had braces, but my sister did for about 4 years - she just got them off a couple summers ago, so I have a pretty good idea of what you're going through. It's tough to have braces as you get older. It must be a pain to have them going into college. My teeth are a little crooked, and I've been trying to convince my parents to get me those invisa-line clear mouthguard - ish 'braces', but so far no luck. Those things are dern expensive. |

I'm not sure how much they'd cost **EDIT** found their site... http://www.invisalign.com/generalapp/us/en...ore/what_is.jsp |

I'm getting them off in 2 years or so. Then in 4-5 years, I'm getting an implant.
