    Yay! They look great! I remember how stoked I was when I was done with my invisalign (I had insanely bad teeth). I bet you are incredibly excited! :)

    Yay, congrats! You're looking great. I'll never forget how slimy my teeth felt afterwards.

    @claireos:  I wish I could've done invisalign! I had to do the metal kind, they're cheaper.

    @Mrs. Guinness:  I know, it's so weird! I was like "When did my teeth get this smooth?"

    I'm jealous!  I'm on 14 out of 20 Invisalign aligners.  I'm so ready for this stuff to be out of my mouth.

    i felt like jim carrey in the mask. you know how his teeth are all huge and white? i was actually a bit self conscious at first. and my teeth were really slimy and smooth. such a strange feeling after having braces. I had the metal kind too :( this was back in like 97\98 though.

    Awesome! There's nothing better in the world. Also, do not ever stop wearing your retainer, even if they say you can. My orthodontist once told me I could just wear it once a month or something. I listened to him, and my teeth moved a bit--so much that I couldn't even wear the retainer but had to get a new one made. So frustrating.

    You will have a beautiful smile for your wedding!

    @Keltaena:  Ditto. I stopped wearing mine and they've shifted to the point that I can't wear them anymore. They're still nice, but not 'brand new slippery, straight teeth' nice. :-/

    @Spinder:  Yahoo!! Congrats to you!

    Sweet! You have a great smile!  // My bf and I both had braces as adults. And, it really does suck.   My bf decided to get braces 1.5 years ago.  We're both waiting for him to have them taken off.  I can't wait!

    Jealous!! I have braces right now- for the 2nd time.  I didn't wear my retainer and they moved.   I got mine on in July and hopefully only have a few months left!

    You're so lucky. I've had mine for one month so far. I have 17 more months to go and they are coming of for my wedding in July so it'll be like a tease. I can't wait to post a pic like you just did & say their off!! Congrats!

    Also, do not ever stop wearing your retainer, even if they say you can. My orthodontist once told me I could just wear it once a month or something. I listened to him, and my teeth moved a bit--so much that I couldn't even wear the retainer but had to get a new one made. So frustrating.

    I agree. I had to get braces back on the bottom a few years ago because of that. He told me I didn't have to wear it that much so I didn't and they moved. :( Now I wear my retainer almost every night still. They're still not perfect straight, maybe I'll do invisalign one day since they're not too bad and because I really hated the metal ones. People already think I look 16 without braces so I really DO NOT want metal ones again.

    Congrats getting them off is the best thing ever! Maintaining their straightness sucks though.
