Hey! Congrats! I had braces put on right before I turned 28.

I had to have jaw surgery a little while back, and the braces were a teeth re-aligning step that had to happen before the jaw re-aligning thing did.

So I had the unlucky "pleasure" of having braces twice in my life. Once, as a kid, for cosmetic reasons ... and once, as an adult, for structural ones.

My best advice is: those little rubber bands are GREAT for shooting at co-workers, so be sure to get an extra bag of 'em from your orthodontist. :)
