Not that im sick of my braces but i am anxious to get them off and see the final product. But i really hate the food in the brackets issue, the flossing and brushing after each meal...which of COURSE I do
I don't hate my braces but I can't wait to have the perfect smile when they come off. I also want to be able to floss quickly without the hassle and no pain from the ortho visits. But I have close to two more years left after like a year and a half.
Now that I'm getting close to the deband date, I am ready for these puppies to come off. I do like that my smile won't be embarrassing anymore, but I am worried that the plaque build-up in places that I can't seem to get to until my cleanings are doing horrible things to my teeth and gums.
I'm pretty well tired of mine too but who wouldn't be after being in them for 26 months????????? Being tired of them is a lot different that regretting getting them though--I do not regret getting them just ready for the end result!!!
