I think it's finally hit me that I'm really in the final-final-final stages of braces, and I'm starting to freak out a little about getting them off. I know I'm going to be all about my retainer, so I really have nothing to worry about ... but my braces have been a HUGE part of my life for the past 14 months! It's weird to think that within a few months, there will be nothing holding my teeth in place!

In progress news, my last remaining gap is closing up nicely! It's only been a couple of weeks, but I can already see a difference. That e-link is really doing it's job!

I also realized that it had been a while since I posted some smiles pictures, so I decided to take some tonight. I took a silly one so you could see all of my teeth when I smile/laugh big. (For added effect, I will also include the first smile picture that I ever took!)

    Beyooteeful!!! If you get any last-minute contraptions put on your teeth prior to debanding, would you mind posting a pic? I'm dying to see what kinds of elastics configs they put on soon-to-be-debracers, like yourself!

    GURRRRRLLLL yo teef look awesome!!!! You've only had them for a year?? Your smile looks completely different that before. You can tell you seem much more confident in the latter photos as well (making eye contact with the camera, being silly, etc ---> things I def never did in photos before braces!). Congrats and yes please post more pics as you come closer to the end!! :3

    Thanks guys!

    @catgyrl - I'm still wearing rubberbands at night, but only to bed. They are the "standard" configuration, and look like this (but my rubberbands are not as thick) If anything changes, you know I'll post pictures!

    @abbaker - It's been 14 months ... and it's still weird to smile with teeth (I never do it ether!) I'll have to get used to it once I get them off
