1. Horrible, painful metal contraptions that are placed on your teeth by people with no sense of humor and a love of seeing kids in pain (called "orthodontists").
2. A combination of metal wires, brackets and teeny rubber bands that sap you of the ability to talk normally, eat candy, get a date, and wake up without a checker pattern
etched into your gums.
3. A device placed on the teeth that leaves you crying every 6 weeks as you leave
the orthodontist because they say you won't get them off for another few months (yet, you're still "
almost there!")
I'd offer you some of this/these super good popcorn/pretzels/caramel/toffee/
taffy/gum/
gummy worms, but you have braces...
Yeah, she's kinda hot, but look at those braces...
Now I know you thought you'd get your braces off this time, but we still need a little more time....yes, I know it's been 4 years, but you're "
almost there"!
