I'm really happy that I've had braces for about a year. It's been fun seeing people I know from school at the office during my appointments and getting different colors. As my friend says, (and i think I know why now) "I look at braces as an accessory, not a burden." It's also fun to find out how many of your friends have had the same procedures done, like an expander. I'm also really happy that I go to Innovative cause some of my friends go to other places and the can't eat as much as I can. I'm soo fortunate!!
