Sometimes older people have to get braces...

Yes, it is true...I am now a "total nerd" as of June 3rd. My teeth are wearing braces now. Technology has improved a lot since the first time I wore braces 21 years ago. I was amazed that the tech put the bottom ones on in 20 minutes and the top on in 15 minutes. Putting the braces on was pretty much pain free except a few times when I was sure I was going to suffocate from the "lip spreader" contraption, then I remembered I was still breathing through my nose and was able to calm down. I had a few days of pain but it hasn't been near as bad as the first time around. The overwhelming feeling that I have had 24/7 to rip a very annoying appliance out of my mouth, is starting to subside a little. Five days later I still cannot bite my teeth together and eating is very complicated. The tech told me to floss at least once a day...I wonder do people really floss every day when they wear braces?? Flossing is a little time consuming and tedious. Maybe I will shoot for every other day...we will see.
