How did you feel when you took off your braces?

I wore braces on May 25, 2014. The moment I wore them, I cried, feeling happy and sad at the same time. I am happy that my messy teeth, which have been ugly for 17 years, are finally saved. But I am sad that wearing braces is really ugly. The long journey of braces began, with eight teeth extracted, four four plus four wisdom teeth. The tooth extraction was not as painful as I imagined. The most painful part was the first ten days of wearing braces. It's so painful that you can feel the tension in every tooth, but you have no choice but to endure it. What's even worse is that I can't eat anything, not even tofu! And my mother couldn't take care of me at school, so I had to find a way to solve it myself. I bought a box of Mosliyan yogurt as my staple food, which made me feel a little full. Later, when I went to the hospital for follow-up visits every two weeks, I would feel sore for a few days. I tried to eat Laoxiang Chicken’s Yangmi noodles, which are light and nutritious!

Time passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, 970 days later, on January 20, 2017, I finally had to remove my braces after two and a half years. I was so impatient that day that I spent countless nights fantasizing about taking off my braces. I went to the hospital and the doctor took off my braces in just a few minutes. I felt very uncomfortable. I always feel that something is missing in my mouth. I have been looking in the mirror for a long time, but I actually feel that I would look better with braces on? After a few days of adapting, I became very fond of smiling. When I saw someone, I would show eight teeth and smile at him. Everyone praised my straight teeth and said I was getting better and better. I took photos before I got braces, and the comparison is really earth-shaking. The teeth before were really eye-catching.

The long journey of retainers has begun again. At first, I would wear them on time, but later I became a little lazy. After a year and a half, I finally bid farewell to my career as a braces girl!
