Well in about 10 minutes I am going to leave to go to the Orthodontist for my debanding (woo hoo). It took a long time, but it will be worth it. I'll tell you all how it went after I'm done.

Well, all went well yesterday. My teeth look great! I really can't believe their my teeth, they look so different from before. The lady started clipping of each of the brackets and it only took about 2 minutes, then I said "well that was easy". She said "No, there's a lot more to do." Then all the glue was sandblasted off my teeth . Oh well, looking at my teeth makes the whole thing totally worth it!
