I am so excited! After 1 year, my braces are finally off! I will have to wear an upper and lower retainer 24/7 for the next 4 months then only at night for a long, long time. It feels really weird with the braces off, but even weirder with the retainers in. And yes, I do talk funny. LOL.

:bigok:

LOL. My sister wore that stuff too, in like 7th or 8th grade. Luckily, I didn't have to.

Congrats, Wyle!!! Give us a pic of that beautiful new smile!

I only had braces for 6 months, but had retainers of some sort for at least 10 years. Hated them - particulary the Darth Vader-tire-rubber one I had to wear at night after I'd had the braces off for a while...

And I wonder why my bottom teeth became crooked again...

Congrats ya lucky bastard!!! I hope I can get my braces off this Thursday...probably not though

Damn orthodontists keep lying to me.

I am extremely jealous of you :bow:

My dad is a dentist... when I was high school I thought braces on a girl were sexy... until I kissed a girl with them. One of my GFs sisters have them... I get my stitches out Thursday. :boink:

Damn Wyle, I thought you were part of the old white man club

I'm almost 17 and I've already had my braces off for two years now. Almost all my friends have them off too...

I didn't even have braces. According to my dentist, I will never need them, and since I now have my wisdom teeth out, I'm am perfect, orally speaking.

Man, I went through that hell of having braces as well. When I finally got them off, I never put a retainer or anything else in my mouth!! Here's something funny though...my grandma just got her's off!! She got them about a year and a half ago and got them off a couple of months back...she's not that old though, she's about 58 or 59 I think.

LOL. Yeh, having braces on my teeth at age 34 was no thrill. In fact, it required an almost total change in my lifestyle. I didn't need them as a kid, but after a couple of "adult" incidents, the smile needed a fix.

Wearing a retainer sux almost as bad as having braces, but at least it's removable and I can now enjoy food again!
