So, I'm 32 and have had crooked teeth since '94 when I was deployed to Saudi Arabia and my wisdom teeth came in. They wouldn't extract them while deployed so by the time I got back to the US my teeth were overly crowded. Then they said "no braces while in the military". (i just found out that was a lie, but too late to do anything about it now)

Anyway, having left the military permanently in January I made the decision to straighten my teeth. I got my braces on today. Ouch!

It never really occurred to me the activities that would be impacted by having braces until a female friend jokingly said "so much for kissing you." holy crap. Because I'm not getting any right now, I never even thought about the impact on sexual activities.

Not good. not good at all. Anyone else have braces as an adult? Any advice?
