What others have said about feeling like their teeth are HUGE is true for me. Just like it took me a while to get used to my teeth IN braces, it's going to take some time to seeing them straight and OUT of braces.

Hi Carissa,

Your teeth look great, I only hope my results are as good as yours!

How long were you in braces for? Did it feel like forever??

A real quick drive-by post. Thanks to all of you for your good wishes and congratulations.

I haven't tried an apple yet, but I am still amazed that food actually goes down my throat now instead of grabbing every wire and bracket in my mouth. My teeth are a little sore, which I never heard anyone else mention. I don't know if I am still grinding or not.

I'm getting used to the new "look." It's just so odd to have a nice wide smile when for so many years I looked at that tiny pinched one above in the mirror, followed by braces covering up the changes.

Talk to you all real soon. Gotta run to work!

:D
