Well, it happened. My braces came off. It's hard to believe... I've had them for four years, since I was just 12, and now... oh god, it's wonderful. Sure, they became very natural and were only painful after wire changes, but it's still wonderful to have them off! I no longer have to fear breaking them on something I eat!
Sure, I have to get a retainer next week, then wear it 24/7 for 9 months, but oh well.
At least I can take it off to eat and brush my teeth.
I'll try to take a picture of myself with David Tennant's grin from my old avatar sometime this week.
