« on: June 02, 2004, 08:06:23 pm »
I got my braces off today!!!  :D
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. ;)

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!
