Brace Face

So I am getting braces again. Yes, I am older than 13. And no, apparently 6 years of braces weren't enough. I want more. 6 years of not wearing your retainer however, is enough to negate the previous 6 years in orthodontics. Yes. I had braces or other such orthodontic torture devices in my mouth for 6 years. From age 10 to age 16. I have stubborn teeth.

I will only have braces for 6 months and this time I promise that I will wear my retainer EVERY night!

I'm not very upset about getting braces again. I can live with that. I am upset that people are going to think I look 13 with them on. People just started asking me if I was 16 and now I am dropping back down to 13. Crap.
