Okay, I have twenty-seven messages in my inbox, at least twenty of which look like they're e-mail notifications from LJ, so I don't even want to know, as I am planning to spend the next two hours baking a three-layer cake -- my cooking skills are negligible, but I can make a mean tiramisu cake -- but more importantly I NO LONGER HAVE BRACES.

*throws confetti*

Apples. Corn on the cob. Chewing gum!

And for some reason it looks like the next thing I write may be Peter getting laid back in the Golden Age and the development of Narnia's navy, but right now? Cake.

Congrats on losing your braces!!

I remember my time with them as well. Though, they never stopped me from eating apples, corn, or chewing gum. Ha.

So sorry in advance for spamming up your inbox.

This was the third time I've had braces, so I was pretty eager to get them off. (They had to take them off early, though, because of the whole going-to-college-in-another-state thing.)

Woohoow! Congratulations on getting your braces off.

I still have mine *makes woobie face* it's horrible and I have to look forward to wearing them until next summer, that's a whole year away.

Anywho, I wish you lots of succes with your cake!

Look on the bright side: this was the third time I've had braces. The lesson we learn from this: always wear your retainer.

Congratulations on the braces off!

What with the whole, "This is the third time I have had braces and I am sick of it," I am very excited!

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

I had them twice. I hear you!

Examples of what not to do, we are, then, I guess. *grin*

Oh no, mine was scheduled that way from the beginning. From age eight to eleven, then a retainer, and then the braces again from twelve/thirteen (I no longer remember) to fifteen. After the second round of braces I was supposed to wear a positioner indefinitely, but I gave up on that after a few years. You can't *do* anything in them, and I suspect all the jaw clenching I was supposed to reinforce my correct bite led to a certain amount of TMJ.

It was the rubber bands I really hated. I was supposed to have two, didn't wear them, went to four, didn't wear *them*, then was peremptorily upgraded to FIFTEEN by my miffed and sadistic orthodontist.

Okay, then I'm an example of what not to do. I had them in elementary school, got them off in sixth grade, got them on again in, I think, seventh, got them off in eighth, and got them on again this past year, my senior year of high school.

I possibly didn't wear my retainer. *rolls eyes*
