So this morning my almost 10 year old got her braces off. She has had cement spacers and appliances on since July 2009. I loved watching her excitment this morning as she straightened her hair, pick out the right outfit, and made sure she brushed her teeth until they shined. I am so proud of her for never complaining about the restrictions braces put on her, (candy) and she embraced her beautiful metal mouth. Now we have retainers for a (long) while, and hopefully I put enough fear into her not to lose them. They are very expensive to replace, and I hope she is responsible enough to be aware. Here is a couple pics. Enjoy the day!!
awwww that's sp great!!! I had braces for five years hahaha
ReplyDeleteAw, congrats! Yep, I remember the day I got mine off, I was sixteen and I had had them for nearly five years. It was one of the best feelings in the world. :) Tell her to enjoy the new freedom!
