they are not faced with it later in life. My son..who is 16, has
naturally beautiful teeth. I'm so jealous!

twisting and turning individual teeth. I didn't even realize my
teeth needed that! lol It's going to be great. He said we
most likely will start the powerchains on July 9th when i go
back.....I CANNOT WAIT!!
