I had them on for 5 or 6 years... so you have no idea how exciting this is for me! :D
Anyways, yeah, I'm so happy I thought I'd share! :D
YAY!

Hey, that is great for you! I remember when I had my braces taken off.
I remember it feeling slick in front. you notice that after having sharp metal on the front of your teeth for so long. Five or six years?
The funny thing is I remember being attracted to girls with braces back in high school...lol.....I think it makes their eyes sparkle.....that is the reason I remember.

Congratulations!
are you showing your spectacular smile off to everyone?
when my sister got hers off she was flaunting her teeth/smile around to everyone, she loved it. She said her mouth felt lighter. lol
congrats again. ;)

I've had mine 3 years I think, and I think I get them off soon!! I'm really excited too!
Gotta be exciting tho! Keep brushin those teeth! Haha
-
yes, it is a very weird feeling... my teeth feel slimy without the metal on it. I've brushed my teeth 20 times today!
and yes, I do smile more now. I can actually smile now... before my smile was horrible. My mouth was so full of metal that I couldnt get the corners up, but now I can!
And I love my retainers... They're clear so you cant tell they're there unless I point them out! And they're comfortable and easy to talk with! I was afriad I'd get the traditional metal one, so when I saw my orthodontist had this for me, I was happy.
-
Wow you got your braces out!
Happy Birthday! :wink:
I've never worn braces...
-
Yay!! That's great. :D

Oh my side I know exactly what you mean! I NEVER want to smile in pics b/c of all that crap in my mouth! And my yearbook picture looked soooo nasty this year b/c I was trying to smile while keeping my mouth shut, and so the guy was like super goofy so I was laughing at him and in the pic it looked like I was biting my lower lip with fake metal teeth. :cry:
But once their gone, I'm gonna be a smile machine!

CONGRATZ!!! that`s like freedom isn`t it?!!, I had bracelets for like 5-6 years, when I took them off ( like 5 years ago) it was just like complete freedom, I wanted to smile all the time heheh
that`s great Holly!
-
Aww that's great Holly, you must be so happy! I remember when my brother had them taken off, and he was so relieved he could eat normal stuff again!xoxoxo
-
awesome! 5 or 6 years is a loooong time! :D
-
i know the feeling, i had braces on for almost 2 years and a half and because of that i chose not to model until i got them out...even though i regret waiting , my teeth are so much better looking now .. :D
-
a couple years ago people would tell me i should model, but I decided to wait until after I got my braces off. Now I have neither the model looks or the model body to do it anymore. I used to have a great body, the best in my 9th and 10th grade class they'd tell me... not anymore! haha
and yes, it is like freedom! :)
And yeah... i'm happy i can drink soda and chew gum again...
(not like I wasnt doing that the whole time I had the braces on, haha)
-
Yay! that's awesome Holly! :)

hehe aww yea well honestly a model has to be tall, thin, have a symmentrical face , perfect teeth and hair...lol its CRAZY however all true..but you know what if its something you still consider doing, i say dont give up because theres a lot of people out there looking for different looks and you never know, you might exactly be what they are looking for even if you dont think so.. :wink:
but anywho i am glad you got them off, you seem very excited about it...unlike you sometimes i wish i had them back in... :lol: i miss them very much
-
