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. ;)

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.

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!

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
Title: no more metal mouth!
Post by: Holly on June 03, 2004, 11:14:17 am
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)

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
