After 21 long months, I finally have my removal date!!!

The bracket on one of my front teeth came un-glued last week, and I had to wait a whole week to go in and have it fixed, as my ortho was on vacation. I went in on Friday, and was expecting to be told that it would push my removal back by at least another month.

My jaw almost hit the floor when he said "you know what, lets just make your removal appointment" He said that I've had no movement (even my front tooth that got un-glued stayed relatively in place) so we were good to go!

Judgement day will be May 25th. My first foods will probably be: gum, raw baby carrots, pizza, and pasta with red sauce.

Did I miss anything? What are you guys dying to eat once you get your braces off??

    Woohooo man sooo jealous! Can't wait til I can entitle my blog "removal date" LOL! My first food will be NUTS lol. I miss snacking on trail mix and eating whole almonds or candied pecans. My close 2nd is Hard Tacos. I've slowly been able to eat tortilla chips in the last month or 2 but I gotta be cautious. Can't wait for the day I use both hands, grab a crunchy taco supreme, and go at it! Lol! Congrats!!

    Congrats !!! The next week will fly by.

    My first food will be a BIG MAC, not because I like McDs but its next to my ortho and would have been annoying to eat with braces. Hmmmmmm...Now I am not sure, maybe just a really good burger from a local restaurant.
    I will also enjoy gum, though surprisingly I have not missed as much as I thought I would. Apples, Corn on the cob, kashi chewy granola bars, All nuts (though I eat most now) Popcorn in public, All food in public without feeling like I need to check in a mirror, tacos, biting into pizza and crust or really eating everything without cutting it into tiny pieces and putting in the back of my mouth.

    Can't wait to hear of your de-brace day and see the after pics!!!

    May 25??? that's so soon!! My first food is gonna be a whole bag of potato chips (I think I'll start with dill pickle and then move to all dressed), probably followed by a bag of peanut M & M's. ..followed by a serious tummy ache. :p But I think after being so careful with food for the past year I'll be hesitant even after the brackets come off... what if these foods still hurt my teeth?? Anyway hella congrats on getting your date! :D Take lots of pics!
