gosh ... I had braces for 3 years ... from 13-15 .... and had many dentist visits so that I could get fillings on tops and sides so the 'metal railroad tracks' would fit nice and snug!!

no wonder when I went to the dentist in December (when I still had insurance) .. he wanted to 'fix' my filling situation .. never said anything about mercury ...

now I want to go in!!

btw - I LOVE going to the dentist or orthodontists ... still have the cards they sent me for christmas and birthday (one has a rabbit with a vice on his head and teeth ... "We're working on it!")
