I don't wear braces by choice! If the scars in my mouth were on my face you would be surprised! Its painful to eat (the few times a week I do eat) and my mouth is cut to SHREDS. ITS EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL HAVING SHARP METAL SHRED YOUR MOUTH TO PIECES FROM THE INSIDE OUT! And its illegal to spread my ip. I am not always at my house and maybe I am not even in Utah I might live there but I may not be there. Intact I may be moving across the country all the way to SC. So yeah.
