I've been...

de-braced!!!!  I am brace free and I LOVE IT!  Got them off yesterday and I can't believe how good it feel and looks pretty good if Ii don't say so myself.  I got my teeth cleaned this morning and had my molds done for bleaching trays.  I do have a filling that the dentist says is "leaking"...whatever that means :)  But the filling is an old silver one so it will now be white, which is cool.

It is so amazing to eat and not have to worry about having the pick food out of your braces. Though I still run my tongue over my teeth "checking", which I imagine I will do for while.  And I had gum for the first time in over 2 years...yum!

I have two sets of the Essix retainers and will get fitted for an upper Hawley retainer after I get back from Haiti.  I leave next Saturday for my first missions trip. So much happening this month!

I will post pictures over the weekend.
