One Day Without Braces And I Got My Retainer Today

Life without braces is great!  I keep looking at my teeth in disbelief.  Eating was a different feeling and after brushing I kept thinking I forgot something (rubber bands).  Because of the brushing habits I developed while in braces, I will continue to keep my grill nice and clean.  One thing I did notice is that my teeth are tender.  I think it will be a little while before I can sink my teeth into some corn on the cob or an apple. 

This morning when I looked in the mirror I noticed a sliver of light breaking through the front teeth!  Could it be?  Yes, they had already moved!  No worries though, I had an appointment just a few hours later to get my retainer.

Braces Are Off! After 1 year and 2 months Wanna see???

I know I stopped blogging about halfway - what can I say?  I got busy with so many other things in my life.  So much negative things happened this year that I just didn't have the time.  Besides personal pains there was my poor husband.  Long story short he overworked himself, needed surgery, and then when he returned they didn't want him.  After months of job hunting he found something great.  Whew!  That was a major sources of anxiety.
Anyway, that's life sometimes...
