Been thinking about this lately...like, imagine you finally get your braces off after years of metal mouth struggles. Would you throw a party, do a special photoshoot, or just go binge on all the forbidden sticky candies? Curious how you'd celebrate.
Honestly, after years dealing with braces, I'd probably be a bit hesitant about diving straight into sticky candies...what if something goes wrong? Maybe that's just me being overly cautious. Have you thought about easing back into things slowly, like starting with softer treats first? Or perhaps just snapping a quick selfie to mark the occasion without making a huge fuss? I mean, celebrating is great, but nothing beats peace of mind after all that orthodontic work.
Yeah, totally get the caution—been there myself. Maybe try something gentle first, like ice cream or cake? Sticky candies gave me anxiety for weeks after my braces came off... better safe than sorry.
Totally relate to the anxiety about sticky stuff—I remember staring at caramel apples like they were ticking time bombs after mine came off, haha. Ice cream is def a safe bet, and cake too. I'd also suggest biting into something crunchy but gentle, like thin-crust pizza or crispy fries. It feels oddly satisfying without risking your teeth. Just take it slow...your confidence in eating normally again comes back quicker than you'd think. Congrats on being brace-free, btw!

That's good advice about taking it slow with crunchy foods. I recall feeling cautious myself after getting my braces removed—it's definitely a transition. Enjoying something simple yet previously off-limits, like corn on the cob, can also mark the occasion nicely. Congratulations on this milestone.
