they're FINALLY off!

i had an orthodontist appointment today and they finally took my braces off. i've had braces on my top and bottom teeth. i had my braces on my top teeth taken off today. i told my orthodontist about my brother whining to my grandma about his braces always hurting his mouth and about my grandma telling him that i never whined about my braces hurting my mouth and my orthodontist laughed and said, "that just shows women are tougher than men." i've had braces on my top teeth since 2005 and stupid insurance wouldn't pay for them because they claimed that they were cosmetic. yeah. whatever. i had braces on my bottom teeth during 11th grade, i think and they didn't have troubles covering them then, it's just now i have axis insurance with a tight bitch of a case manager.
