I am now officially a braceface. I was really really worried that I would look so goofy everyone I passed on the street would make fun of me, but now I see how unlikely that scenario is. I mean, who really cares about someone else's teeth? And these braces are not even that obvious. But I was so worried for so long about how I would look, I forgot to think about how I would feel. And I feel really uncomfortable. I can't smile, I can't eat solid food, I can't rub my lips together and I can't really talk. People say it takes a little while to adjust, but at this point, I can't imagine ever adjusting. My mouth feels so strange.
