ByeBye (Top) Braces!!!

They're off, y'all! Well, the top brackets, at least. The orthodontist wants to keep the bottoms braces on for at least another 6 weeks to let some gaps close. I'm perfectly fine with that, because you really can't see them.

I'm SO pleased with the results. All the awkwardness, annoyance, and inconvenience of having braces for the past 17 months - and even having to celebrate my Dirty 30 with a metal mouth - was TOTALLY, POSITIVELY, 100% worth it.

I'm going back to get my Essix retainer at 2 pm today, and you can guaran-damn-tee that I'll actually wear it this time. I am NOT doing this a third time!

My results!!! (I'm going to my dentist on Monday to get the chip on my front tooth fixed - WOO!)

Thanks, y'all! I had a wonderful orthodontist - a fellow Bulldawg! - and I wore my elastics like it was my J-O-B. And I wasn't afraid to speak up for myself and express my concerns along the way. I think these things were really important.

Can't wait to celebrate y'all when YOUR big day comes around!
