Hello, @gadrian. I hope you are getting your braces to preserve your teeth. They are the only teeth you have. Yes, it's getting harder and harder to afford things. Let's all hang in there and think positive. Don't let the fear mongers take us over. I was like that - very negative for a few years and got sick of it. Those fear mongers come out especially before our elections here that are in November 2024. They want to scare us into submission and don't let them do that! Barb 🌟😊👍 !BBH !CTP #ctp
