After needing to go a couple extra months longer than planned, we have a date set!

On October 16th, the braces come off. I am so incredibly excited!

Meanwhile, I’m in my final set of elastics, which means that my teeth are tied to each other, from top to bottom. It’s not fun. Not only is it painful, but I have a very difficult time speaking as my mouth feels as though it’s tied shut.

Andrew says when I do speak, it looks as though I’m angry as every word coming out is through gritted teeth.

I was hoping to head out for a caramel apple after I get them off, but I just learned that I’ll have a permanent retainer welded to the back of my teeth, so who knows? Perhaps caramel apples will be out forever? So caramel apples may not be the healthiest choice, but they sure sound good right now.
