Melt Down

A few days ago I had an emotional breakdown. Not about school, boys, or my future. I know, shocker. Actually the whole premise of this blog brought about this meltdown. Braces. It's getting to my 6 year anniversary with these babies and although we have grown very close and shared some special time, mostly I just want to rip them off my teeth. I came home this summer with the intent of doing just that. FINALLY no more metal mouth brace face. Alas, as my summer draws to a close I go back to BYU, a senior in college, with my braces very much still intact. So, a few tears were shed, my orthodontist was dissed and my world felt like it was ending (dramatization!)
So, life goes on. with braces. Hopefully the people in the retirement home this fall won't mind being treated by a girl that looks like a 15 year old.

Let's take a look back at my braces and me through the years

Pre-braces (2005)

High school. All metal braces.

Now! Bring on the clear braces
