Hi, Rage! I am new to the board and I have just read through your journal and would like to thank you for being such an inspiration. Your positive attitude about all you've gone through has made me so much less nervous about getting my braces on (tomorrow!). I hope you get those puppies off soon! (You're teeth look so great by the way!)

Rage:
I do hope your news tonight is as good as you're going to feel tomorrow. I have a package or twenty of elastics I'll burn in your honor tomorrow night. Does latex give off a bad smell?

So what's the first meal? Raw carrots and non chopped apples?

Let us know all your good news and even through you've crossed the line don't be a stranger. I'm still waiting for special news from Colorado.

I wore braces (this time) for 1294 days or 3 years, 6 months and 17 days.
But who's counting?

Hi Rage! Wow, your teeth look wonderful. After all that time in braces you definitely deserve it, your retainers look great by the way.

Yay for no braces! Retainers do kinda sound like a downer to naked teeth but at least you get to take em out to brush and eat!

Your teeth look wonderful! I can't wait to arrive at de-bracing day. Your description of going back to brace-free teeth give me something to look forward to! Thanks for sharing.
