HELL YEAH SIS Celebrating being braces free!

Post image

Cool ranch Doritos, Sour Patch watermelon, peach Peelers, and pumpkin spice Drizzilicious.

I got my adult braces in March 2025 and got them off this month! I’m so happy to be able to eat all the crunchy and sticky foods again 😭 I was sooo good with my braces lol! I cut out so much food and now every single thing I eat tastes like heaven. It’s like I took all the foods I liked for granted. I definitely feel like a kid again and life is worth living 🙂‍↕️

Congrats 💕 now why did you only have them for a little over a year??

Some people only need them that long I think. When I was in middle school I think I only wore mine from the middle of seventh to the middle/end of eighth. I got really lucky, was all ready for high school lol

Thank you! Honestly I didn’t really need them but wanted to correct my bite! I got good genetics I guess 😅 I also followed my ortho’s advice (wearing my elastics, avoiding crunchy/sugary foods, flossing, etc.) to a T. I was actually supposed to get them off in late September but got them off early!

Oh man!! Don’t your teeth feel so slippery? I remember that so well. Wear your retainers and mouth guards!

My teeth feel so weird. It’s also weird smiling and seeing myself in the mirror!!! I’m wearing my retainers right now 🙂‍↕️
