Seems like a bunch of us have reached the end of the journey. It has been an epic week for me. This has been quite a struggle but I stuck through it!

Thank you everyone for your support throughout my treatment. I'm pretty sure without your support, I would have quit. Coming back as an adult after having a relatively traumatic and frustrating experience as a kid was extremely difficult. Finding out that I needed surgery on top of braces was also very difficult.

This is one chapter of my life I can finally let go. I am so happy with my teeth and my doctors this time around. I am the best ME that I can be!
