Life after braces...

#1 Post by Grapefruit »

Hey everyone,

So, how is life going to be without braces?? I mean, we are gonna have soo much time on our hands! lol No more 15 mins. of flossing or 5 mins of brushing, and not being able to eat lettuce...I miss you, romaine! haha

But seriously, I've had my braces on for nearly 2 yrs, and my treatment is nearly over, so I'm always thinking what will I do after braces?? Besides eaty all those things that you're not supposed too, I think I will be looking in the mirror for a loooonnnngggg time! lol :BigTeethGrin:

I don't even remember how I looked before I got braces, I can't even imagine :P No more painful adjustments or weird elastic contraption (lol Clo!)... A newfound profile, not having to pick food out of ur teeth (EW!) and most of all you'll have a new smile to show off!! I CAN'T WAIT!

How about u guys???

bye

The shortest distance between two people is a smile.

After my braces are off I will be awfully close with a lot of people.
