Sorry for my absence for so long, but I've come bearing great news! At my last check up I was told that after almost 5 years my braces are ready to come off!
September 19th is the big day, and I'm so excited!
I know you are so excited and the special day is coming up soon. Five years in braces is a long time but I'm sure you will find that it was worth it to have a perfect outcome.
I'm basically excited beyond belief at this point. One week and one day to go!
Of course I've got some nervous ideas coming into my head, such as what if my teeth aren't right and he's taking them off too early? But after 5 years I'd hope they'd be perfect!
You deserve to celebrate! Congratulations on your debanding date!!
