braceface

so it is today, officially, that i have been braceless for a whole year! and it feels great. i hated it, truthfully.

i have treated my teeth quite well this past year, although i am quite forgetful about the whole 'flossing' regime. who does that?! oh, you do? well...

i remember in like, 5th grade i actually kind of wanted braces so everyone i bared my teeth at saw them and knew that i was a teenager! it sounded great at the time! plus, i had a gap in my front teeth that was big enough for birds to dwell in.

little did i know, braces are the most shameful, painful, and horribly awkward experiences one can ever go through. i think i got those suckers on around November 2007, and ever since that moment in time i had began to test my photoshop skills by erasing each bracket off of each tooth to see if i'd look like a whole different person with my still-crooked smile beneath the wires.

This was my best photoshop attempt-
black and white helps

You just  can't photoshop awkward!

In case you were wondering, heres my mug with braces...

yeah, very attractive. now to spray febreze over that stenchy photo, heres the day i got them off! and what a glorious day it was!
Big, no no, HUGE day of my life
May 3rd, 2010

I remember the grand anticipation! the horrible grinding of the glue was almost music to my ears as i knew that this would turn out be a dramatic transformation in the mouth area... what if it was too dramatic? what if i was even uglier? it was killing me, i was dying to see myself. and so it was, i was very satisfied with my teeth. the wait was well worth while! any remember kids, WEAR YOUR RETAINER.
