This information is a little innacurate. My wisdom teeth are growing in, and I'm only 11. Hrrrrm

I had them removed in the fall and surprisingly enough when they take them out they freeze you really good so you don't feel a thing. The only pain you will get is afterwards, but they give you pain medication to help (:

and i might need braces soon... just look at my teeth! when i was 5, my dentist said i'd need braces. then she said i didnt. hopefully i wont get braces until im a teenager, because Invisalign doesn't have Invisalign preteen or kids. just Invisalign regular and Invisalign teens

There's no need to be scared of being home alone. Just lock the doors, and raid the fridge for food or something. If it really worries you that much, you should make him listen to you. If he really wants to spend that much time with his girlfriend then they should both babysit you.
