Brace Yourself...

this old lady is going to have to get... braces!!!

I went for my consultation today and found out that I'm looking at getting braces (top, bottom, AND rubberbands) for 18 months.  Then a retainer.  I had braces as a young child, but only on the top.  It's not a straightening issue- my jaw is so out of whack that it's started to hurt, so I need to get it corrected.  I've kind of figured this for years, so I knew this was inevitable. 

Alright, alright, let's hear it... Brace Face? Tinsel Teeth? Metal Mouth? Bring them on! I can take it!  It's just hard to imagine that Taylor will be TWO before I get those bad boys off!

And yes, I am opting for the clear braces.  Just a little more expensive, but I think they'll be a little bit better.

Braces, here I come!

So, Tuesday is the big day.  I guess I can look at it this way... at least I'll have something in common with my 3rd graders. ;)
