I haven't been this happy in a long time, ATOT. UPDATE: 100% more cuteness/grinning like an idiot

Update: me and my baby cousin, yesterday



As per this thread, I got braces in April 2005. For the last 3+ years, I really haven't liked to smile. Sure I love titanium as much as the next guy, but it just doesn't work so well when it's strapped to your teeth.

Today I FINALLY got them off! I forgot how my teeth looked, I hadn't seen them in so long. They're unbelievable though.. absolutely stunning My orthodontist did some damn good work :thumbsup:

And to boot, I got my motorcycle license yesterday!

This is easily the best day of my life as far as the past 3 years go. Now, to charm some women with that deadly smile....

it's hard taking your own picture

 

[moshquerade]

awesome! :thumbsup:

now wear your retainers like you're supposed to or your teeth will move.

 

[Eeezee]

When I got mine off, it looked like my teeth were really BIG. They were huge! It was just a perception thing, having all of the metal out of there and seeing a lot more white.

Congrats, ya big stud!!

You look eerily like my cousin. :tinfoil:

 

[Vehemence]

Fuck I hated braces. Retainer?

 

[rasczak]

hasn't changed anything.

 

[TehMac]

Yeah, I hated Braces so much. I'm so glad I'm done with them. Finally.

Wear the retainer. I got my braces off at the beginning of high school and didn't wear a retainer because it was a hassle. Waste of money for the braces. My teeth shifted back noticeably.

Wish I had worn the retainer.

i have polycarbonate retainers (basically, what the invisalign braces look like) that my orthodontist said to wear at night, or if things move, increase wear duration. i wear my contacts at night anyway (yes i know it's odd, but i don't have your typical lenses) so adding 1 more thing to put in really isn't all that hard

Yeah, what he said!!!

I get mine off next month I think. Can't wait! I look forward to being able to give a toothy smile in pictures, though.

 

[ICRS]

Do you see the pimple on your forehead.

P.S the teeth look like they came out great.

 

[SSSnail]

Do they make braces for face?


baawaaahahahahahah...

no, i had absolute 0 idea that i had acne on my face. thanks for the pointer. i'll make sure to submit future pictures to you, just to make sure that your eagle-eye sight can scan my face for anything that might resemble a pimple.

good enough?

 

[TallBill]

Yey, I figured that this would be a pet thread, but alas it is not.

 

[bignateyk]

Yeah, wear your retainer. I only wore my bottom one for like 2 months and my top one for like 8 months. Bottom has shifted fairly noticeably, and top has shifted just a tiny bit.
