Congratulations! That's a pretty short time to have braces. I had mine for 2 and a half years. It is a really strange feeling when you first get them off. When I got mine off, my teeth felt too smooth because I was so used to the braces.

oh i remember when i got my braces off... so strange... i kept feeling them w/ my tonuge. oh yeh the days of braces... i remember my teeth were weird and one of them shifted upwards after i got them off so i had my braces off for a few weeks and had to get them back on for a couple of months to correct it.... stupid teeth oh well... it's all good now ohh and u don't really realize it now but ur gums are swollen... they'll go down in a few days i guess and then u'll notice it.

Oh and don't stop wearing your retainer for long periods of time---it hurts when you remember to put them back in....haha

isnt' it hard to stop smiling while showing your teeth? i couldnt stop.

yay for you! congrats braces sucked lol its funny cause when you have braces you kinda get used to them and then after you get them off and look at pictures you're like "wow... i really looked goofy in those" haha at least thats what i was like

I got my braces off in the beginning of 9th grade. I first got them at the end of 6th grade, so I had them for about 2 1/4 years. They were awful, always ripping my cheeks apart and other things. But they were definitely worth it.

I have a perminent retainer on my bottom teeth and a temporary one for my top row. But I never wear it, and my teeth have stayed straight. My wisdom teeth are coming in now too but that won't effect it because they're coming in straight! That also means I don't have to get them pulled. WOO!

oh ur so lucky! i had my wisdom teeth pulled this summer.. although it really wasn' that bad... apparently my top ones were growing in on an angle and the bottoms were at such an extreme angle they were literally growing in at a 9o degree angle into to my teeth... so yeh i got them all yanked and i was all bruised and swollen for about a week... i looked like a female version of ron jeremy to give u a visual... lol it was pretty funny actually

Haha! My friend had hers pulled last fall and she looked like a chipmunk. She didn't come to school at the end of the week but she had to go to the football game on Friday because she was drum major for the marching band. Haha, it was funny!

Lucky you. At age 16, I have yet to experience what you are currently experiencing. Pathetic? I think so.
I got my braces on in 5th grade and off in 7th grade. I hated braces. Awful. Glad I didn't have them in high school though. Not like it matters, who am I trying to impress with my straight teeth? No one yet... I got my wisdom teeth pulled during spring break. All four at the same time. I was in so much pain, I could have killed someone just for talking to me. I got irritated very easily. , hahaha Okay, I love that face.

i wasnt' in too much pain.. it was just uncomfortable... didn't u get stuff for the pain? i was doped up on T3's so i was fine.. i really only took them for the first 2 or 3 days though... it was so strange though not being able to open my mouth properly... my family kept teasing me for the way i would eat

I'm 17 and have yet to experience any of that. I had a Prom date but that went horrible. That was it. But I do have lots of time.
