I'm pretty nervous about getting braces, especially this late in life,
but two years is not that long a time, and my bad teeth have really started to bother
me; it's not uncommon for me to cut my lip while chewing food, for instance.

On the 25th I undergo the first of two orthodontist appointments
dedicated to getting braces on my teeth. The second one will be on the 28th.
The braces will stay on for about two years. Once they come off, my
teeth will presumably be straight instead of the jumble they are
currently. The braces cost about $5500 and they're not covered by my
insurance; bleah, but doable, especially on a payment plan.
