18:13 - For Freedom and Liberty for Teeth

(top)  |
I got my braces off today. Wheee! Here are the pointless and horrifying before-and-after photos (sorry, I didn't have time to doctor up the "after" one so it was in black-and-white with bad lighting and messed-up hair and a fatalistic mope on my face-- er, wait, was that supposed to be the "before" picture?):
 
I've had them on for almost three years now-- they were installed in February 2000, and I'd completely forgotten what it was like without them. It almost feels like my mouth is numb all over, now, without weird sharp metal edges poking me everywhere.
But it still feels really cool, and I've never had straight teeth before-- so I've been walking around all day randomly grinning at people. I'm sure it's freaked everybody out at work, so now it's the online world's turn. Heh!
This particular orthodontist has a nicely honed sarcastic sense, too:
