Has it been that long?

#1 Post by missing_tooth »

I was looking at my sig tracker today and noticed I've been braced for just over 5 months! Wow, how did so much time pass? Seems like it's only been weeks. I think I'm going to turn around one day and these things will be off. Not that I want them off, I'm having too much color fun right now.

Anyway, just says, time sure does fly.

Yay, five months is awesome. I can't believe I've almost made it to two, lol. I still have a rather long way to go. :)

Holy wow! I'm already at 19 months on the lowers, meaning I could have them off by December. That's insane... I remember walking into the office to get my braces like it happened this morning.
