Greetings from lovely Banff, Alberta!
Husband and I enjoyed our honeymoon here last September and I was so happy to be able to grin like a crazy person in all of our photos. In case you can't tell, we are having a flipping blast being married.
I just wanted to update everyone on the current state of my teeth. They're doing pretty awesome. I've been wearing my Essix retainers only at night since about September 2010. In one month, I will be two years brace-free!
I'm having incredible fun. I hope this update encourages people out there who are toying with the idea of getting braces to take the plunge and make the incredible investment in themselves by pursuing treatment. My teeth are now the healthiest they have ever been. I have zero cavities and zero trouble areas now that my teeth are straight and easy to clean. And I have accomplished so much with my new smile! It has given me the confidence to challenge myself in my academics and in my career. I have the best job a girl could ask for (I am an ABA skills trainer for kiddos with autism at the world's best behavioral healthcare services provider!), an awesome husband, and this feeling like I could conquer the world.
GET BRACES! Your new smile will change your life!
