Wow that is incredible that you made it through 5 YEARS!

I have to congratulate you on that account!

So when are you getting your braces off?

5 YEARS?

Man...I've only had them for 9 months and I've grown annoyed with them.

I have an adjustment tomorrow...I hope she says things are looking better instead of the continual, "Hmm..No...bite...Hmmm...no...you have to stay with the elastics....I know you've had them for eight months...but...hmmm...no..."

Kudos to you though! That is really awesome that you've stuck with it. If we reach month 30 (my "at the most" estimate)and my ortho is still mumbling about my elastics, I think I will be forced to take these things off with pliars!

Wow, you are really a trooper! I'm wondering if you have any idea when your sentence is up?

That's really amazing, well done! You must be so proud of yourself for sticking with it through the years, I know I would be! Do you know if you have long left to go?

Hang in there, Joe. Hope the remaining time you have left in braces flies by more quickly for you.
