New here

[katie1018]

Hi all!

Just wanted to say 'hi' -- I'm new around here but not really that new to braces. I've had them for 6 months already. I thought this would be a cool place to talk about the whole process and everything, since I don't really have any friends in braces anymore. I'm 18 and literally one of the last few people in my senior class with a mouthful of metal, so I really don't have anyone to commiserate with. I wish I knew about this place before my braces went on!!!
