Apparently, Back-In-The-Day braces also make your gums recede when you’re older. I’m having all sorts of fun with that now.
If my dad–who should meet Dustin’s mom–sees me, say, opening a bag of chips with my teeth (’cause I’m classy like that), he still says, “Stop! Don’t do that with your expensive teeth!”

Hahhaa..yeah, my orthodontist told me recently that I need to get braces again as well! Welcome to thirty-something railroad tracks!

I would love to do the Invisalign thing with my bottom teeth. They’re all sorts of crooked, but thankfully when I smile they don’t show. I’ve decided not to smile nobody will notice.
You had a boyfriend at 8? I didn’t have my first boyfriend until 21, but let’s just pretend I mentioned that.

tracy lynn: thanks! i totally think toothlessness is a word, or at least it should be, because i'm gonna figure out a way to rock my toothlessness!
waterfall: good for you for fighting the man! the dentist man. unfortunately, hollywood has made us all believe that we have to have flawless features, starting with our smiles.
peefer: toothless is the new black.

I never got my eye teeth either. I think it means we’re evolutionarily ahead of the game. I have a little bit of a gap where they’re supposed to be, but not enough for braces (though my last dentist would ask me every time, “Wouldn’t you like to get braces to fix that gap?”) (Wouldn’t you like me to bite your *hand* off, dear sweet Dr. Dentist?)

Dude, you have more than enough personality to carry you through a few months of interesting toothlessness. And that’s not even a word, so it MUST BE TRUE.

dave2: you’re the sweetest! and believe me – if i hadn’t been in the midst of a dental emergency today, i would’ve loved to join you for pizza again!
dustin: please. if you won’t listen to your mother, listen to me. the only thing worse than wearing braces as an adult is PAYING FOR BRACES as an adult. put that retainer on! and clean your room!
brandon: i told you not to reveal that george foreman is sponsoring tequilacon ’08 – now it’s ruined! and i would consider drinking my own tequila if it didn’t make me so wild and out of control… oh. that’s your point.

for the last time, the official tequilacon grill will NOT be ready until NEXT YEAR. and furthermore, did you SEE the male/female breakdown? i think you’ll be lucky if you can put off dating for the next 6-8 DAYS. (of course, actually DRINKING the tequila instead of giving it to me might grease the wheels as far as this is concerned)

To this very day my mom still asks if I wear my retainer at night and gripes about the “arm and a leg” she had to shell out for my braces. I usually respond by grabbing the most sugary substance within reach and rubbing it on my teeth and then saying “Is it wrong that I can feel the decay happening as we speak?”
The word “gratitude” still isn’t in my vocabulary.
