Just wanted to say quickly if anyone is having doubts about getting braces and going through the whole process, don't!
I have been brace free for about 6 weeks now and I feel like having them was the best thing I ever did for myself, no regrets, I just wish I had done it years ago.
I smile so much more and all the yucky feelings of self conciousness are gone.. and the other day I at corn on the cob and pop corn and it was awesome!
YAY for braces!!
A huge congrats for getting your braces off! A very big day indeed. I think that glorious day is going to come a close third to my wedding and my sons birth! I also agree that if anyone is thinking of getting braces ... do it! It is never too late and it is soo worth it. I wish I could have gotten mine sooner in life. Two years ago now seems like only yesterday to me, so I know this time is just going to fly.
Enjoy your corn on the cob!
