I'm worried about what the results are going to look like. I'm worried that my face might look weird without the braces in (what if it suddenly goes all saggy?). I'm worried that they might cancel my debond date (this thursday). I'm worried that I might have staining from the braces.

OH goodness! For the last 14 months all I have been thinking about is the day I get these things off and now I'm scared.

Silly.

It is a very emotional little journey though isn't it?

I'm just a little bit shy of one month but I got my braces tightened yesterday (Aug 21st) and oh my god, the process I'm seeing, it's amazing! It is worrying because I do worry about what my teeth will look like, will they have marks on them after but I think you will definitely be okay, you have others supporting you! As long as you keep up the good oral hygiene I don't think there's a lot to worry about.
