Talking Brace Face No More!!! 5 Years Later!!!

I just got my braces off today and it's the best feeling ever! I've had them on for 5 years now, so its about time! :happy anim:

It's bad enough that I'm Asian and I look really young, but having braces made me look even younger. I finally look somewhat my age



Anyone else here have or had braces?

I hated having braces. I was so excited to get my braces taken off. It was like the happiest day of my life lol. Then two weeks later I went overseas for a month. It was nice not having all that metal in my mouth when I was on vacation. This was about 7 years ago now.

Wow, 5 years is a long time. Never needed braces before but can't imagine it being comfortable having all that metal in your mouth. Congrats, looks good!

Looks like you lost some weight during that time. I actually gained weight while I had braces on. Weird.

You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

I actually liked braces, I had it on for 5 years, so it was a big part of my personality. The only downfall was guys didn't want to approach me because I looked like jail bait.
