Brace Yourself..
2009 has only just begun but having said that, it's nearing the end of Jan already.. :-/ However a year has gone on for my braces, can't believe I've had them in one year already!! I've been making a big deal out of them all year, lots of adapting and cos I can, so there :p So I went for the monthly check up with my Orthodontist the other day and Sheila tells me that the work here is done and would like to remove them on my next visit. I have to admit, although they always predicted a year, I was some what surprised, maybe because the last time I was there she talked about Easter time. So a date has been made to remove my braces for the 11 Feb. That's great, but for some reason I was a little..oh..erm..ok?? Have I got attached to these things then? Who knows, may be a bit!!
Any how have a look at this pic, taken recently by a friend of mine. I thought it was a good one to see the work done so far and a clear view of the braces too, plus I'm zit free for a change!! I may brave a couple of before and after pictures once they are out, but I had become very paranoid of smiling out loud, so will see...
AND remember it takes less muscles to smile then to frown, so keep smiling..I love to :-))

Hey Asha... great to hear your braces are coming off sooo soon!! Like the ladies said above, you look great with or without them! and even though you shouldn't feel conscious about them you will love it when they finally come off... trust me i know ;-) You'll be able to eat all those curries again without having to worry about them turning all yellow ;-)
I'm guessing you'll be given some retainers? Those aren't soo bad, you just wear them at night, but you'll be speaking with a heavy lisp so the kids will be on your case again for sure ;-)
Cheeeeeeese!!!

Through doing this over the years I have gained 1/2 inch width in overall GOB area.. which has allowed for the average pecan dansih to fit fully, sideways!
