Yes, that means I can punch you in the mouth when you say random things without getting my knuckles bloody.

All my trumpet students get braces, and it kills them as players. I avoided them because I was considering a major in music and spending 2+ years mashing metal into the backs of my lips would have been a hindrance.

I had braces for 1.5 years, before that I had a palatial expander for like 6 months I think. Now I just have a bottom retainer because I lost my top one. I will have to get my top teeth redone just a little because the expander did most of the work anyway.

So much difference when you get those ***** out of your face.

I'm in the same boat, but I just got mine in last week. They're pulling two teeth tomorrow to make room for the front lowers to move back, and then it's all just waiting. Since my wife works at a dentist office, mine are free so long as she doesn't quit in the next year or so! 6 days and I hate them already! I want to eat my pizza crust, I want to sink my teeth into a big burger, I want chips and hot sauce, etc. I can't stand cutting and tearing my food into little pieces. Good times!?
