Braces Removal

I HAVE MY BRACES OFF! I HAVE MY BRACES OFF!

This is such a wonderful occasion! I am so very happy i dont even know what to do with myself! Every time i pass by a mirror, i look in it and smile to reveal my pearly whites. Although i want to want to whiten them a lil more.
This is how they take them off:
First they snap off all your brackets. The wire comes off with the brackets. Then the ortho. doctor comes in, turns on this lil bitty drill thing to get off all the dried glue still on your tooth. Its very loud! She then says, "Do not move or this thing will get your gums instead of your tooth- If your tooth is sensitve, just raise your left hand and i will stop. okay?"
I say okay.
Then she uses it to get all the hard gluey stuff off your teeth. But then you say, "Hey, could you file down that tooth on the bottom? Its kinda uneven."
She says, Sure she can!!! very enthusiastically!
Except for that she doesnt say it will REALLY REALLY hurt to get your tooth filed down. So you IMMEDIATELY are waving your left arm around wildly getting her to stop.
so she does.
Then she gets the tech person to come over there and help make it less painful. The tech puts water on the tooth, and this DOES help. Some.
But anyway, you got that done, so now they give you your retainers. They show you how to get them in and out and give you lots of cute lil sparkly cases to put them in.
Then she gives you a lil bag of candy FULL of laffy taffy, which you havent eaten in OVER TWO YEARS, do to the fact they told you not to and it gets stuck in ur braces. You are just ectstatic!!! So totally happy!!!
Then the tech person takes you over and gets an xray (tho you have no idea why. you have your braces off already, how would an xray help now?), then takes these rly stupid pictures of your mouth with these GIANT plasic strecher things to keep them open. You feel REALLY stupid just then.
Then your mother comes in and both of you have you sign this release form, saying you will wear your retainer at all times, wont microwave or boil it, wont put it low enough for the dog to chew, wont wrap it in a napkin cuz you will end up throwing it away accidentaly if you do, have to pay $125 to get a new one if you lose it, etc.
So then you make an appountment for 6 weeks later to come back and get your retainer tightened if it gets loose or watever, then you leave.
Thats it.
Did i mention im happy??? cuz i am!!!!
