1. My teeth felt so smooth.
2. I could finally eat forbidden foods: corn on the cob, pretzels, popcorn, carmels
3. Didn't have to carry a blob of beeswax around in case a wire sprung loose.
4. Didn't have to discreetly try to remove or replace tiny elastics
5. Could smile for pictures without blinding the photographer. I got my braces on a week before high school senior class pictures were taken. Got the braces taken off during my junior year in college.
Did you or do you have braces?
I never had braces--although my dental hygenist always asks me if I did because they're pretty darn straight. :-)
