Hey Everyone, just thought I'd let you know that I'm getting my braces off in 12 days! I feel very overwhelmed right now. It seems so unreal. I can't believe I started this journey two years ago. Thanx to everyone for their support and advice. I will try to post pics if I can figure it out.

Well, I can't believe it but today is my two year anniversary! I still remember the day I got them on. I will do my best to post pictures as quickly as possible. It has definitely been worth the wait. I'm extremely satisfied with how they look now and can't wait to see how they look after the braces are off. Oh yah, and happyhippo I will be thinking of you as you get them on. I know it seems like it will take forever, but time does fly. Thanks so much to everyone!
