braces and highschool

[Kelsey best]

On october 29th, monday, i had gotten my braces off i was so excited, its been 2-3 rough years of having my braces since they were always
adjusting to my small mouth.
 
 I had my braces since the 7th grade. On December 2nd 2010 i had gotten my top jaw braced. then on may 18th 2011 i got braces
 on my bottom jaw.
 
I'll have to admit though, getting braces off is less painful then getting them on, well it was until i had to do the teeth models.
i hated them, it tasted horrible and it had hurt, it had even cut my lip and my gums,and plus its a pain in the butt to get the stuff out
from in between your teeth.

Right away when i got my braces on within a week they started to adjust, and i felt it. it was hard for me during those years.
i found out that instead of overflowing my body with pain killers(which never worked.) that if i eat icecream or something freezing
cold, it would numb up my mouth which was helpful.

Even when i got them off my teeth were still adjusting which worried me because i though they were trying to go back to the way they
were before braces,so i was anxious for the day to come to get my retainer.
My retainers are bugging me though its mostly the bottom retainer then the top,because my tongue keeps pressing up against it,and popping
it off of my teeth. i kept waking up in the middle of the night to fix it. its soo annoying! -.-
thanks to that i keep losing sleep due to waking up at night.

i already have my before and after pictures up so feel free to check them out, sorry i know they're not the best.

Oh and highschool is going great so far.  I've got my first boyfriend, he's so sweet. my family well, lets just say they've
threatened him so much about hurting me in anyway. Yikes. but other than that we're able to talk about almost everything. :)
