Recently, my teeth moved out of whack rather quickly. I went to a therapist to correct how I swallow my food, drink, and saliva so that I wouldn't continue to push my teeth out and eventually find myself with buck teeth. The therapy changed forces going on in my mouth and therefore caused one of my front teeth to move back and another to move out. So I've decided to fix it. Mainly because I don't feel like myself with the change in my smile and partly because I started hitting my top and bottom teeth together from time to time with much pain. Another important part to this story is that Dave currently has braces. So I immediately thought of this couple and knew I didn't want to be this:
(Note to self: I must rent Best in Show again.) With that in mind and the fact that I wasn't as brave as Dave to wear metal in my mouth again, I opted for Invisalign. I have my first aligners in and it isn't so bad right now. But in five weeks I will get what are called attachments on my front teeth and I have a feeling that I will look like I have pieces of cauliflower stuck to my teeth at all times. I'm sure I'll write more about those when I get them. The irony of all of this is that I am in the process of going through all of my beauty products and toiletries and getting rid of any products that aren't all natural because I've become afraid of absorbing harmful chemicals and plastics through my skin. And here I go, about to suck on a plastic/petroleum product for a year or more.

i totally want you and dave to be the braces couple. how awesome would that be? then you could enter max in some shows. but you'd have to shave him like a lion first.
