Braces Emoticons

By now, everybody probably knows that  a colon, dash, and right parenthesis looks like a smiley face :-)  ArchWired reader Eric from Massachusetts sent in these handcrafted orthodontic emoticons for us to enjoy.  Eric says, "Sitting in from of my laptop pondering my current orthodontic journey, I put together some braces 'emoticons'.  I know I've seen some of the simpler ones, but think some of the others may be new."  Thanks, Eric! : ^ (-_)          overbite : ^ (_-)          under bite : ^ (´`)          protruding teeth :-)#)              braces and happy :->#>             braces and very happy :-(#(              braces and unhappy  :-<#<             very angry about having braces  :-#)…..           braces and drooling ;..(#)             braces hurt   ;..(*#)           braces with canker sore!   :-)#}#)          braces and headgear :-<}<             not pleased with wearing headgear  <(:-)#}#)       braces and high-pull headgear (:-)=})>         facemask :-)##)           metal brackets :-)}})            ceramic brackets   :-)$$)            gold brackets  :-)][)             Invisalign™/invisible braces  :-)})              retainer :-)=)             thumb/tongue habit appliance : (?)              broken wire/bracket    :-)#=#)         braces with rubber bands º :-(#-#)       popped off a rubber band :-(#-#) ºººººº     spilled my bag of rubber bands :-(###)-:      braces locked :-[::]            brackets being installed :-[#]             braces being installed :-X               I don't want anyone to see my braces :-(#J#)         using a Water-Pik™ :-(#q#)         brushing braces :-(#\#)         how do you floss these things? :-(#*#)        gum caught in braces :-(#~#)        tongue caught in braces :-<##)          lip caught in braces :-(#·#)         tongue piercing caught in braces :-[|]             braces being removed :-)|)             finished with braces!
