Well I've been 2.5 days without braces now, and I'm soooooooo thankful. The invisilign retainer has already started to adjust my top teeth. They feel better already.

The permanent wire retainer on the bottom is taking some time to acclimate to. certain foods, like bananas, get under the wire when I eat them, but it's much better than having food stuck in my braces. I'm sure in a few weeks, I won't even notice the wire anymore. Plus by then, I'll only be wearing the invisilign retainer at night instead of full time like I'm doing now.

So, things are going pretty well. I'm getting a lot of positive feed back from my friends, co-workers, etc. The funny thing is that my boyfriend didn't even notice! It wasn't until we kissed that he said, "hey, your braces are off!" lol. He said he noticed my smile was bigger but couldn't figure out why. Haha.

I definitely do smile bigger. I feel a lot more confident now, and I'm not holding back my smiles anymore. And best of all, I can actually chew and bite with my front teeth, and I don't have headaches anymore. Success!
