Not that I’m counting or anything……

I want these things GONE.

They don’t cause me direct pain anymore, and 90% of the time I don’t think about them at all.  But I feel the same about cold sores, and I don’t want them either.

I also am having a moment of apprehension. What happens if my teeth are not perfect when they come off? What if they are not ‘done/fixed/finished? If I need to have them for longer to do more changes then surely I’m best to suck it up and leave them on. It was $11K to do this and I’m NOT doing it again, so better the devil you know, right? I am no longer with the original Ortho that started this and so does the guy taking over from him really understand why I was doing it and know the benchmarks for the final result? I wonder if I’ll miss them? I won’t be the ‘Middle Aged Lady with Braces” anymore!

On the other hand if I go there and he tells me that I will have to wait another 6 weeks because there’s more to go I think I’ll explode!

Is this what Stockholm Syndrome feels like?

I’ll take some final photos if them on to have as a memory and then dance into the dentist this week and hopefully say goodbye to the torturous little devils.
