I got my braces off, after 6 years of waiting!! It's so weird, my teeth are all smooth and slimy, I am also getting some crest whiting strips. I need them really bad.. I don't have any pictures on the computer before I got my braces but...
A couple months before I got my braces off

Wow, 6 years for braces? They must have been crooked!

I never needed braces either - perfectly white and straight... now if only they didn't get a hundred cavities a year

Thanks everybody.
Belive it or not they actually were not crooked. My top left canine tooth was at my right molar. So they had to remodal my mouth. They put a chain on my canine tooth and it took 5 years for it to get over to the right position.

Wow, congrats!! I've had mine for about 3 years now.

I'm actually used to them now, they don't bother me that much. I get mine off in October

I'm very excited!

By the way, you have beautiful teeth!!

Your teeth look beautiful! It was certainly worth all those years! You'll never regret it!
My goal, believe it or not, at my age, is to get the new Invisalign. I guess because only 3 of my bottom teeth are crooked (my adult teeth came in behind the baby ones, which they had to pull, hence they came in crooked)nobody thought it necessary for me to have braces. I already had a consultation and I 'll need top and bottom in order to make my teeth aligned. My new dentist promised me FREE whitening if I get the braces. He just got his off and he's my age. So...once I put my priorities in order, I will get braces.
