so close

So, I was terribly excited for today because I was scheduled to get my braces off. Hallelujah! But as the appointment got closer, I was beginning to think that my orthodontist would notice something and make some suggestions or want to tweak this and that. Because really they aren't perfect but really, will my teeth every be PERFECT? Probably more than likely not. And I am okay with that.
We arrived at the appointment and he looks all over, "Open. Now close. Open. Well, I could make a few minor detail adjustments. If that is okay with you."
I have come so far. Really, I am so done wearing them. I was done like 12 months ago! So of course, I said, "Okay." I know if I had him take them off I would kick my bum all the time for not leaving them on a month more. I'm scheduled to take them off beginning of November, but that could change again if there is any more recommended "tweaking". I'll cross my fingers!

  1. Oh man!! You were so close! but you're right it's probably smart to live with them another month and have extra-perfect teeth! :)

  2. You can do it for one more month! I can't wait to see them off, though!

  3. I'll cross my fingers for you too! My teeth have shifted a bit since my braces in high school. They still look really straight, but I think I have more character with them just a little crooked and the chip in one of them. But you might as well get them as perfect as possible. Your patience will make it worth it--I promise!

  6. Keep on chuggin'! I know the feeling of wanting braces off, but it's so worth the wait. You will have an even more beautiful smile.

    And if it's any consolation, I think you look adorable with your braces! :)
