I wholeheartedly agree with Julia McDonnell in her article "Brace Face." Not only do I think that what she wrote about was true, but I also think that it has struck something in the hearts of all of those who had to endure the long, excrusiating, journey of braces. I thought that her view was very realistic, being that I myself have had braces; but I think she was also very informative to all of those who want braces or are just getting them. I especially agree with her when she said," What began as a hopeful,optimistic promise of a perfect smile turned into a five year, on-and-off again torture of my teeth." I would like to personally thank Julia for telling the world the truth about having braces.
