My braces came off in June of 2010. I had them for 2 years and I feel it was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself!

For all of you adult brace-wearers or those that are considering it, you should have a look at www.archwired.com. It’s a wonderful source of information and it also has a message board – and it’s all directed at adults! It’s helped me a lot in being prepared to have my braces on and I’ve received so much encouragement that I haven’t chickened out yet ;)
I was thinking earlier today about being in my 20’s – I have eight more years and it seems like a lifetime. However I know that tomorrow I’ll be 30 and wondering where the time went. I’ve taken up this goal hoping to give myself some perspective and remember to not let it slip by.
Some things I would like to accomplish in my 20’s: travel, get married, decide what I really want to be when I grow up (maybe go back to school?), be a more confident me.
