HeyBuckey!'s Story

[lau]

Yay! Happy thoughts!! Cant wait till your debrace post and pics!!!

[HeyBuckey!]

Thanks Lau!!! I can't either!!!

So, my BIG final evaluation is tomorrow, I have an idea, thanks to a fellow braced co-worker of mine who posed an excellent question. "If they're finished, what are they waiting for? Why not take them off right now?" As crazy as that sounded at first, I quickly came to the conclusion that she's right! Besides, I'm tired of missing out on work just so I can get my braces tweaked. The less I have to do it the better! If the Ortho gives the ok I'm gonna proceed and ask if she wouldn't mind taking them off tomorrow, I already have the WHOLE day off because of how late my appointment is (11:20 am EDT). I just pray she's up to it and has the time available and doesn't need the finishing wire to finalize everything. I won't get my hopes up too high because there may be more entailed that what my mind is comprehending at the moment. I'm going to sit wait and listen until then.

Well everyone! I'm absolutely exhausted! You'll most definitely, absolutely, positively hear from me after my appointment. I'm really hoping it goes well enough to get them off tomorrow!!!

Ciao

[HeyBuckey!]

Oh my gosh!!! I'm so nervous!!!

[HeyBuckey!]

I've got one thing to say...

I couldn't be happier right now!!! Pictures will be coming shortly!!!!

[catgyrl]

I am so jealous... I am beyond words. LOL!

I am SO happy for you, "Nolongerbuckey"!! I can't wait to see the pics. When I finally get mine off, that's all I'm going to do the rest of the day: stare at myself and take pics!

[lau]

CONTRATULATIONS (Stealing Cathy's name) NO LONGER BUCKEY !!

[catgyrl]

Oh yeah, and nice pic of your right... uh... you know....

[Ellebraced]

OMFG "nolongerbuckey"!!!!! WE WANT PICS!! Why are you torturing us?

Congrats you must be busy smiling and eating and smiling and smiling......

Cute button!!

I went for an adjustment today and thought of you sitting in the chair getting the tin grin removed. SOOOO LUCKY!!

[HeyBuckey!]

Hey Everyone!!!!

I'm cracking up over here! Catgyrl! You're so crazy! Then I thought "Oh wait that is a picture of my right...you know what.

I'm just gonna torture you all (Ellebraced particularly ) for a moment longer and then the pics are coming.

Lau you're awesome! Thank you soooooo very much!

First things first. I looked at these pics and I noticed even now that it's almost 11 pm EDT my teeth fit together a whole lot better and they look even better than they did when I first got them off. Also, I have a retainer check on May 8th so my Ortho can check on things. Lastly, I got lucky because my Ortho happens to have a lab in the office I got my adjustments in, I was finished with my adjustment around 12:30 roughly, and I got my retainers by 2:30, TALK ABOUT GREAT!!!! The bottom retainer is the hardest to get out while trying to eat however, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. The first braces no-no food I ate, was almonds! My teeth loved them!!! I still search frantically trying to get food from being lodged between my invisible brackets and wires however...

Oh yeah!!! Ask and you shall receive! They were gonna schedule me for braces removal at a later date but I asked if there was anyway possible I could get them off today because I had the WHOLE day off and they were ok with it! Just ask you're Ortho if you have any questions or concerns and they're more than likely will be willing to answer you if they have an answer to give!

On to the pictures!

I've decided that it's time to put a face to the person you all have been talking with. I'm no professional photographer but have a new set of pearly-whites helped with the photo shoot. But before you all see the full No Longer Buckey (:D Thanks Catgyrl!) Here are my new set of chompers!!!

THAT IS ONE HAPPY SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats, Keep in touch and let us know about retainer life.

[catgyrl]

WOWEEEE!! Okay, you totally look like Leona Lewis (beautiful). Someone else here looks like Scarlett Johansen. I wonder who I'll look like when I get mine off? LOL

Seriously, your teeth look just fantastic, and I'm so happy for you. I know, for a fact, that my ortho is so booked, I won't be able to request an extended appointment. But I still intend to take the whole day off, anyway.

Not to sound creepy, but I'm going to go back and stare at your teeth some more.

[tmroy79]
