Let’s take a second to remember those years way back when (for those of us who were ever-so-fortunate) our mouths were scraped up. Metal Mouth. Brace Face. Monthy orthodontic appointments.

UGH!

This new graphic novel called Smile by Raina Telgemeier captures all those feelings of the shock, embarrasment and pain of being young and having braces! In the book, Raina loses her two front teeth after a nasty fall which requires her to get pounds of painful headgear, surguries and of course, she suffers all the discomforts of having metal in your mouth.

Smile comes out in February 2010, and you can watch a video trailer here! Enjoy!
