I am a sophmore in high school. In jr.high I
 knew this guy and his sister, both of whom wore braces and headgear,
 even to school. I asked him why they wore them all the time and he said 
they had a real strict orthodontist who would wire it on if they didnt
 wear them. The were both nice, but real quiet, overweight just awkward 
looking, and they didn't dress to well. Anyway we used to make
 fun of them and their headgear all the time. I knew we shouldn't have 
but I just went along with the crowd. They ended up at my high school
, both still in braces and she wore her headgear the first few months.
 In september my mother dragged me to the orthodontist. I had said no 
before but this time she insisted and I kind of wanted it done, so 
I agreed. So I have all the X-rays and models done and its the day my
 braces are going on. I show up at 1:30 and he wires me up and gives 
me a high pull head gear and tells me I have to wear it 16 hours a day. 
 My mother couldnt pick me up until 4:30 so I'n in the waiting room, 
crying, and the twins walk in. I have their same orthodontist and 
they were getting theirs off. So now I'm the one with the hardware and
 they have great teeth. They acted real nice and tried to make me feel 
better. I felt like a total jerk . She is now going out with my ex boyfriend 
and he is a star baseball player and I am the one everyone teases. I had 
to write this as a most embarassing moment story and post it on the net
 because I lost a bet.
