the tin grin is in

[fox]

I don't actually mind the brackets poking my lower lip. I don't even mind - much - that I can't have popcorn for a year. But I'll tell you what I'm not nuts about, and that's the fact that at the moment, I can't bite all the way down on my back teeth without shearing a bracket off the front. It turns out this makes chewing food extremely difficult. ... Guess I'm restricted for the moment to things I can safely swallow half-chewed. :-P



I'm completely confused by the description I've read of how the wire works - where it's pliable when it's cold, but stiffens when warmed up to body temperature. That just seems to contradict everything I've ever known (okay, believed I knew) about metallurgy.
