What are you going to do...

#1 Post by Tasha Fierce »

...the day your braces come off?

Hey y'all, just figured with all these topics on how much we hate braces and all the orthodontic troubles we run into, we should have a more uplifting topic! So just wanted to know what are some of y'alls plans when the big day arrives?

For me, my sister is almost more excited than I am for my braces to come off (almost but not quite! :D) and she wants to do a big makeover on me including a hair cut, a new outfit, and all other girly things (not sure what that includes...). I just plan on just eating popcorn and milk duds all day, that is, right after I get my teeth cleaned at my dentist.

Anyone else want to share? Maybe we could all trade ideas! Anyways, hopes this puts a smile on people's faces! We all need something to look forward to after all!

I got my braces off on Tuesday and got a huge bag of Tootsie Rolls and ate them all!

I will stare at myself in the mirror lots and book a family portrait photoshoot.

Will our teeth feel tender when they come off? I can't wait to eat snickers again!

I can't wait to get my teeth whitened, buy some red lipstick (have clear brackets so have stopped wearing lipstick) and blind everyone with my smile!

FLOSS!! FLOSS!!! FLOSS!! I eat whatever I want...my ortho is really cool about telling his adult patients to use common sense and not worry about the "forbidden list".

for me brushing for at least 5 minutes without the wires and cables, that sounds almost like heaven to me then eating at least a full bucket of no 1 forbidden food POPCORN, also replacing all my non-smiling facebook pictures with updated HAPPY SMILING pictures... :D
