Braces bring pain, smiles Brace face, train tracks, and metal mouth are phrases that strike an individual when they see metal shinning from someone's face. How bad could it have been to have braces? Sure, it must have hurt a little at first but was it worth it to suffer the pain so your teeth could be straight? Sophomore Danielle Robledo agrees that there is pain but was glad that she got braces. l knew that someday they would come off and they would have made a beautiful difference in my smile. l was willing to suffer the pain. Having braces brings the painful trips to the orthodontist to have the braces tightened. Before leaving to the orthodontist, people stuff themselves with food, because they know that upon their return they will not be able to eat. Robledo understood the terror of knowing what taking a bite of dinner meant, hours of discomfort. There was a plate full of my favorite food just staring at me and I had to refuse it due to the pain l would indure if l had eaten it, said Robledo. Along with receiving braces comes cuts in the inside of the mouth and the remembr- ance of being careful when kissing. Braces tend to make a person feel a little insecure because they play such an important part in one's appearance. However, it is either have braces and take on the challenge or learn to live with crooked teeth. Luckily, braces were invented so people with imperfect teeth could have a chance to repair them, and ultimately to improve their looks. lf crooked teeth are a problem for you, have no fear because braces are here. by Darlene Martin rv i A H? . fa. ,,.... 1 fx if ' x 'ii A
