I got "braces" the other day. Invisalign to be exact. And because people have been asking, here's the reason: I have a gap between my two front teeth that was getting worse and putting weird angles between the other teeth (I'm a nurse, not a dentist, so I don't know the technical terms). I was always getting food stuck in them too, which is embarrassing. In fact, I'm pretty sure that my teeth is the only thing keeping me in the singles ward.
Anyway, I got Invisalign. On the top teeth only. The first couple days my teeth hurt quite a bit. Especially when I had to put it back in. You have to take the trays out and brush your teeth everytime you eat. And the more you take them in and out, the more it weakens the trays. Did I mention how much it hurts to put them back in? Who likes to brush their teeth more than 4 times a day? I don't. So now I only eat three meals a day. They have to be small, so I don't get too hungry too soon. No more snacking. The past two days at work I've had to turn down free food. Do you know how hard that is for me? I've never been on a diet before, but it feels like one now. And I had to pay a lot of money to be on it. Only 11.5 weeks to go...

Sweet. Maybe I'll get Invisalign too. I already brush my teeth at least four times a day and I'm still fat. But maybe having the trays on my teeth would help.
Well, enjoy your last 11.5 weeks in the Single's ward. You're not going to be able to keep the guys away from you once you get that tiny gap in your teeth fixed.
Oh man, I'm so jealous. I've been wanting to do that for awhile...that and Lasik...
