Today is my last day in braces. I go in for de-bracing tomorrow morning. Excited is an understatement. I've been looking forward to this day for 21 months. Longer, really, if you consider that I've wanted straight teeth since I was a kid.My friend Susan is on her way down from the Flathead to help me celebrate -- and take pictures! I will post some shots of my new smile as soon as I'm able to.
A few things I won't miss: picking half my meal out of my braces, wires and brackets rubbing my flesh raw, spending 20 minutes threading floss between each tooth, accidentally spitting on people, and looking like an overgrown tween.
At this time tomorrow, I hope to be able to say it's all been worth it.
Here's a look back at my journey through posts in roughly chronological order. I thought it might be helpful for a friend who is having the same procedure in September, and anyone else who comes along looking for information about adult orthodontics and orthognathic surgery.
