I guess the only reason why I posted that was to show that really they are no big deal. I know people who were shocked AND there are people from the other msg board who refused to get married until the braces were off just because of the pictures. There were also people who got them removed just for the DAY. I really value individuality and I think sometimes to get braces (especially as a dating adult) is a huge act of bravery. All you can do is go out there and be proud of it, goofy as that sounds.

When do yours go on? Or how is the timeline looking? You'll go through stages, like anything. My first thought was "they look and feel HUGE!" though your damons will be smaller than my traditional ones. I'm kind of jealous of the damons, actually.
