I don't know too much about braces, but I sure do know about law school debt. Congrats on paying it off! Maybe someday I'll know what it feels like, too.

I have somewhat funky teeth (kind of like Kirsten Dunst's), and thought long and hard about braces. In the end, I think my teeth suit me and I actually get the occasional compliment on them. Since there aren't really any medical issues at this point, I'm not likely to get braces unless I start hurting or something. Also, I have many other things I really, really want to spend my money on right now.

I've always sort of liked braces on adults. To me, they make a person seem a little bit more fun.

Teigyr-I love that wedding picture. You look great- braces and all- and your dress is soooo pretty!
