Not much new to report. I'm getting used to the braces and I hardly notice them any more, except when I eat. It's gross how much food gets stuck in there. I go in next week for a tightening or to get the rest of my bands put on. My teeth were so crowded they couldn't get all my bands on. It's amazing how the ortho knows how to move all my teeth into the right place. This probably is a dumb question, but where do normal people hold their tongue when their mouth is closed? I think my ortho said it's supposed to be at the roof of your mouth, which is weird because I always thought if I did that it would push my teeth out further. Anyway, I keep my tongue at the bottom. Gee, no wonder my jaws are messed up.

Here's a dorky picture of me right before my braces were put on.
