I also wanted to mention that I have finally found someone to be part of my life. He seems absolutely oblivious to all my hardware and tells me that he thinks I'm beautiful. I honestly think he's the one I've been waiting for and searching for since my husband passed away 8 years ago. Wish me luck!

I am scheduled to get my braces off on December 8!!! I am SO happy. My orthodontist is now going about trying to give me a little bit of an overbite so that when they put in the bonded retainer behind my upper incisors I won't be bashing into it every time I close my mouth. So, right now I have a bit of a space between my left front incisor and my left front eye tooth but I'm sure it will close. All the bottom teeth are lined up like little ducks in a row and I am about 99% happy with my treatment. Can not WAIT to get these things out of my mouth! :crazy:

Thanks! Yes, I know. In fact, the whole two years has gone by incredibly quickly. I just hope I don't miss them too much when they're gone but I don't really think that will happen!

Dec 8 2014, Just got back from the orthodontist and BRACES ARE HISTORY!!! I am SO happy with my result I could have just kissed him. He did such a fabulous job. Entire diastema closed with only one small black triangle on the upper right eye tooth. I look like a movie star!!! Could not be happier at this moment. Every single second was SO WORTH IT and then some!!
