Brace Face- How do you like them apples?

I don't know how many of you knew that i got braces but i got braces back in January and so far it hasn't been too painful. the most pain I had was when i got the actual braces on.

I went to the ortho yesterday and he put the chained elastics on does that bring back any horrible memories for you who had braces? i had no idea what to expect when he said he was going to put chains on. that sounds scary in and of it's self! he's also making me wear an elastic on the left side. that looks a little awkward when your talking with someone jeepers! would if that thing brakes and shoots your friend in the eye. lol that would acutally be funny to see.

So ever since i've had my braces on I have got the question is it awekward to kiss. ummm... don't really know for sure yet. but i found this funny thing online that is question answer write in thing here it is just incase any of you ever get into this situation:

Dear Alice,
When both of u have braces, and you do happen to get stuck together, is there any way to unhook without help from anyone other than you and him?

Dear Reader,
Although the number of teens writing in to magazines about being "absolutely mortified" of getting into this sticky situation could have you believing otherwise, relax and take a deep breath. It's not likely that you and your guy need to worry about an orthodontic lip lock. What does happen from time to time is that the projections and wires on braces can snag on the other smacker's lips, but even this is a rare event.

More of a concern when putting in some face time is brace breakage. To keep your gear intact, be sure to take it easy when kissing. Anyone who has worn braces has heard his/her orthodontist's warnings of the perils of hard fruits and vegetables. So, think of your partner's mouth ware and teeth as an apple. Much like what happens when your desire for a Red Delicious gets the better of you, run your braces too forcefully against the hard surface of his teeth and you could end up with a popped wire or unglued brace.

And though a break is far more likely than a binding, never say never. In case you and he become one of the unlucky few that make tangles "rare" rather than "impossible," the best strategy is a little backtracking and a lot of patience. Consider telling a funny joke or playing the staring game to ease tensions while trying to untangle and separate, slowly, gently, and carefully. If all else fails, a humble yell or phone call might be your only option; though embarrassing, it's certainly a better one than the monetary damage that a hefty tug could cause.

Wouldn't that be Awkward seriously! i better not find a man with braces eh? good thing i only have them on for a year. but dang it might be tempting if I had a man kiss me like this sailor! now that is a serious KISS!!!

So i've been thinking about getting glow in the dark elastics next time what do you think? that would be kind of fun! I was going to get them this time but the lady told me they turn yellow pretty fast and i have the elastics in chains so she just put the clear one's on with out my opinion oh well maybe next time tell me what you think
