M. said at 11:00 AM 12-19-2003: Congrats! Do they recycle the metal? I've always wondered what they do with it--do the evil, cheap orthodontists put it on a new person? Or do some orthodontists do it in consideration of the environment?
My teeth are back to their original positions since I stopped wearing my retainer. So, yes, wear your retainer. Otherwise you'll waste your money.

Smooth silky white teeth and brains, brains in the attractive sense, not in the "I'm Brandon, and I'm feeding" sense. You vex me a little, cause you won't email me back.
