I only get positive reactions and curiosity from kids
"What's on your teeth" is the most common question I get, and I explain they are called braces, and they are making my teeth straight. The kids love the colors and they'll notice when you get them changed!

Can I ask what changed about your routine? I have a bit of recessed gums on my lower incisor and I'm hoping that better hygiene (not that it was awful, I think I brushed too hard) will help it recover.

I started brushing. No, really, that was it. I had really bad oral hygiene before this journey began. Gentle brushing, and keeping the plaque off with a pick. Very gentle brushing. Hehe.

I'm FREE!
I don't lisp very badly with my retainers in either, which is good since I work in retail right now.
