Bye Bye Braces

After a long two and a half years, I got my braces taken off yesterday. What a relief! Now I have a retainer to wear to keep my teeth in the correct positions, but it's removable and won't cut my tongue or irritate my gums and inner cheeks like the braces did. Brushing my teeth even feels funny to me now that I don't have to maneuver around a bunch of metal.
