Tinsel E - 1 year update

Yesterday, I visited the orthodonist.  It's been just over a year since I got these retched braces, but the orthodontist gave me some good news!!  He likes the way my teeth look, and my next appointment (in 5 weeks) will be to take impressions of my teeth.  The impressions are to make my retainers, which means the following appointment after that (5 weeks after that?), the braces come off!!  YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!

Naturally, I couldn't get away with no extra torture just because I'm almost done.  They put a rubber band chain(as they call them) around each one of my top teeth brackets to pull all of my top teeth together and close the gaps between them.  These rubber band chains, whether on my top front 4, bottom front 4 or all of my top teeth, give me headaches for the first few days of having them.  Seriously.  Before this, I had no idea your teeth could make your head hurt.  Now I know... ugh.

But the light at the end of the tunnel is there... faint, but there!
