While most second graders want their two front teeth for Christmas, this 28 year old just wanted her braces off. Well, I'm half way there. Today, Dr. Edwards asked me if I would like my braces off--did he think I would say, "no?" I was elated!!! They took off my top braces today and made an impression for my new retainer. The bottom braces will come off in a few more weeks. I was so excited when they said, "You can go brush your teeth now." Oh how good it felt!!! I'm still not quite used to the feeling of naked teeth, as they feel really big and slimy. I go back on Wednesday to pick up my retainer, and you better believe this mama will be wearing her retainer every night for the rest of her life (unless of course I get dentures-haha). I think braces two times around is quite enough!

Congratulations!! I'm sure that must be a huge relief.
OK, where's the pic of the pearly whites????
No pic yet. . . I looked pretty rough yesterday. I even convinced them to wait on taking my picture at the orthodontist's office. Haha.
That's great, Lori! Can't wait to see a picture!
