I can eat corn on the cob without cutting it off, and eating steak without having to cut it into itty bitty little pieces. Not complaining..... just dreaming.
I dream of gummy bears and snickers. Mmmmmm.
I'm sure there are other things, but these were the first to pop in my head.

I had braces for Two Years and TwentyFive Days
I dream of running my tongue across my teeth again and not feeling braces. I dream of a day when it takes a normal amount of time and effort to brush and floss. And while I have returned to eating pretty much everything I ate before getting braces I miss biting into a crisp apple. Cutting it up in pieces just isn't quite the same.
I dream about eating steak, corn on the cob, peanut brittle, gum. I dream about not having to think about everything I'm going to eat, to be able to go to a restaurant and order what everyone else orders. Mostly I dream about the day when I can get rid of the lingual arch holder in the bottom of my mouth!!
