Braces and their unexpected positive side-effects... |
|
I was fitted with orthodontic braces in July. Since then, I've lost 10lbs, and I have (not by choice) ceased my chronic nail-biting habit, because I haven't been able to bite them with the braces on!

1. When my 10-year-old daughter had her braces fitted. . . |

one of the first actions accomplished was to widen her palate, which had an added benefit of widening her nasal passage. Since then, she has not had a recurrence of the conjunctivitis (pinkeye) which had plagued her throughout her childhood.

When I wore them I still ate what I wanted I was just more careful than usual.
