Re: One year down!

I wish I could see your pictures, but I'm new! I agree about that damn mouthwash though. I used the one in the white bottle with a blue label ("Clinical protection" I think) and it made me temporarily lose my sense of taste! It was bizarre. The stuff got poured down the sink so I would nev...

Re: I have 12 hours to decide what kind of braces to get!

Good choice! I have had metal too for about 10 months now. It's freeing to not worry about staining from food and drink. Not sure about you, but I just can't give up my coffee.
