Me Again

I've been reading web sites that talk about adult braces. So far, I have not seen anything about the psychological aspect of adults getting braces. They do mention an adjustment period, but it's still not enough. I wonder if other adults who have gotten braces have had the same "depression" that I have had. I know it'll go away eventually. Right now, it just exhausts me. I know it's only been 6 days... Why do we handle these things so much better as children than we do as adults?
