Medical Jewelry and a Philtrum Piercing

Hey, people get braces these days just because they like the way braces look, but I’m going to guess that the decision was care of an orthodontist… Hopefully he didn’t hassle Notorious about her 14ga philtrum piercing (aka Medusa piercing).

    I used to have braces, and I loved them! What I didn’t love was my orthodontist…who seemed to go out of his way to cause PAIN in my mouth! I just had my lower retainer taken out (it was cemented in and was starting to separate my teeth) and he hit pretty much every nerve in my teeth! It hurt so bad.

    She’s a cutie! I’m of the opinion that nobody can look bad in braces because they just make everybody look so cute!

    i have braces and although it’s pretty fun to get your bands different colors (mine are turquoise, to complement my magenta hair) i’m so sick of them. can’t wait to get ‘em off in a month. couldn’t you get a braces-shaped and colored retainer (like, mouth retainer) so you could get the look of braces when you felt like it, but not all the time?

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension.
