It's been a wonderful year....

...without braces!!
Yes, it has been a whole year since my mouth
was 'freed' from the metal bars :) I am so grateful
to have my teeth where they should be, but it
was a long process!

"O happy day!"

Lessons learned from the dentist chair:
  • Keep your ears open to pick up the names of the dental implements
  • When the dental worker says you shouldn't chew gum, hard candy, nuts, or pencils, they mean it.
  • Try not to scream if it hurts, it will be over soon!
  • Crying will make them sorry for you, but it won't end the treatment
  • Pamper your mouth when it's all over :o)
  • Chew gum as soon as you leave the dentist office once your braces are off. It actually relives the after-effect pain!
  • Thank the person who paid for the dental work, and send/give them an 'after' picture!

A little celebration gift from Mama:
