5. What, exactly, is 'braced'?
Teeth?
Legs?
Torso?
Ears?

Please be more specific.
Thank you.
:-)

7. Do the braces negate the need for earphones?
Just turn on bluetooth and the braces will pick up those signals just how they don't pick up FM waves? :D

8. I have not used my normal iPod yet so I am not sure.
And I do not have a blue tooth thingie because I am a big enough dork without one.

My orthodondist is single and was complaining about my offering to marry him to whoever for free.
