Hi. My name is Greg Reese. I am a 25 year old Web Designer / Applications Developer from the Lehigh Valley. About an hour north of Philly, if you don't know where that is.
About 3 months ago, I came up with the great idea of finally taking the plunge and getting braces. I have been debating this for almost 4 years now, but I was either too poor or too scared to do it. But now I hold a better job, more support, and basically no reason not to.
A lot of my friends/family say that I don't really need braces, actually. So why am I getting them? Well, I'd love to say it's really because my teeth are misaligned and my grinding is going to ultimately seal my fate into a late-life servitude to dentures. Actually, I'll be the first to admit that it's purely cosmetic. I want to feel better about myself, and be able to look in the mirror and say "That's me!"
Which I do now, just not with so much excitement.
So, what is the purpose of this blog? The sole purpose is to really provide a daily (if you're lucky) perspective of my journey through the orthodontic world. There will be some laughs, some tears, some shrieks, and some heartfelt thoughts of what I am going through. Also, I want to provide some insight to people who are like me: those who are unsure about their smile, or just think it could make them feel more confident and - ahem - downright dashing. Also, just to remember that no matter how old, there is somebody who is always going through the same thing you are.
I mean, cmon, statistically speaking... 7 billion people.
