okay so this definately has nothing to do with my love life, but i didnt know what column to put it in, so i just put it in the one i thought most people would look at!! does anybody know anything about teeth alignment? like how much it costs, do they put you to sleep during the process, etc. Or could you give me some sites?

Um..."Tooth alignment" as you call it is actually Orthodontistry. Basically, braces. The dentist can't surgically line all your teeth up in one procedure. I went through braces for 2 years and I can honestly say, while it was intimidating at first, it's something that I'm incredibly glad I did when I saw how nice my teeth looked afterwards.

Generally, you won't need to be "put to sleep" during any part of the process. Braces can take anywhere from a few months to several years depending on how much "alignment" you need done. The treatment can cost up to several thousand dollars, so be sure you want to do it before you spend a nice bucket of money.

Wikipedia has a nice long article explaining all the details about orthodontal work done:
