1. You are the oldest one at the orthodontics office by 15 years.
2. Your nighttime brushing routine goes from 5 minutes to at least an hour. (OK, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but is feels like an hour)
3. Your "splurge" is an electric flosser.
4. Your lips are always flailing around to find a comfortable resting position.
5. You can't talk normal...because you can't open your mouth more then a slit...because...
6. You have elastics connecting the top of your mouth to the bottom.
7. You have to wear those elastics all the time (except when eating and brushing).
8. People can't look you in the face when you talk to them because you have pieces of lettuce or cottage cheese protruding from your braces.
9. You scare your daughter into brushing her teeth by threatening that she'll have to have braces like mommy.
And finally you know you're officially a nerd when...
10. Your braces get stuck in the net while playing volleyball.
(Whew! Luckily this one didn't happen to me....but you know who you are)

Gee thanks! This was a hilarious post. Brings back a lot a memories, some I'd like to forget.
Are you talking about me? Because I'd like to think there are MANY many more people out there who have had their braces stuck in a volleyball net. Right? :) I'll call you soon!
