intro?

i've decided to start with just a few things i thought you should know.
1. my mom recommended i start this blog (just in case you're wondering, i did do this willingly :)
2. the reason for the title: "brace yourself" is because i just got braces today.
3. you may have already guessed, but this blog is going to be my journey with braces.
now here's some info on why i got braces. First reason, my dentist recommended it (bet you didn't see that one coming.) second, because my teeth were crooked, and it was causing a lot of plaque build up. third, my bite was really deep. and that can lead to things like neck pain and stuff like that. and just so you know, i didn't get them for cosmetic reasons. only health reasons. Those are pretty much all the reasons i can remember (there are some more, i'm just not the kind of person to retain much knowledge in a single day.) So now you've read the intro, please enjoy the rest! :)
