Braces off on Thursday (I am freaking happy)~Their OFF!!!

#1 Post by Samantha19 »

I have been meaning to post it but I am getting my braces off on thursday and I am super excited.

I will go back to college sans braces and it will be so cool. I will have a retainer that I will have to wear for 16 hours a day but that won't be so bad.

I know this is weird but I have decided to keep them once they come off. I don't know why but I guess after 8 months I am emotionally attached to them.

Fantastic Image Samantha! :jump: :dance: :jump:

Only eight months ... that's cool! Enjoy your 'going naked' day! :banana: Image Image Image :banana:
Thanks! It feels so weird not to have them on!

Funny enough to celebrate the braces coming off my friend took me to get my tongue pierced, so again I have something weird in my mouth to get used to :)

In a couple days I will have a retainer to wear. I plan to wear it 24/7 so my teeth don't move. The last thing I want it to have to wear braces again.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad they got my teeth nice and perfect but for me braces is a one time thing.

Well it's Samantha but thank you none the less.

What's really weird is I kind of miss them. It was only 8 months but I got used to them being there.

I guess when I get my retainer that will take their place.

Thank you, I will. And I am planning on wearing my retainer all the time so I won't have to go through it again.

Yes, it was a short journey. And considering they were practically Invisible, I guess I was really lucky.

Now I am going to wear my retainer all the time so I don't have to do that again.

Still don't have a digital camera but when I get back to school maybe someone will have one and take a picture of my teeth for me.

I am a happy girl now :)
