I thought this day would never come. So much has happened in the past 7 months, and the whole time I had these ‘bear traps’ attached to my mouth. Well, today I got them off. They snapped off without much ceremony, and most of the time was spent cleaning up the mess that all that coffee and tobacco made. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the tips of some of the teeth were smoothed out using a diamond-tipped sander thing.
It’s a bitter-sweet (and also slimy-smooth) feeling. I actually enjoyed my visits to the orthodontist’s office. The staff there was friendly, and it was always a treat for my inquisitive mind to witness these professionals at work. I’m going to … sniff … miss them.
But enough of all that—it’s time to go celebrate!
