Getting braces off next week, and I keep thinking, what if I threw a mini party or something silly like that...is that weird? Curious how you guys would celebrate this kinda milestone, lol.
Not weird at all, honestly. When I got mine off (after almost three years, ugh), I didn't exactly throw a party, but I did treat myself to a huge caramel apple—something I'd been craving forever but couldn't eat with braces. It felt like a mini celebration just for me, you know? Have you thought about doing something similar, like indulging in a food you've missed or maybe taking some fun photos to show off your new smile? It's a big deal, and you deserve to mark it somehow. What kind of stuff did you miss most while you had braces?
"What kind of stuff did you miss most while you had braces?"
Honestly, popcorn at the movies. I avoided it completely because I was paranoid about breaking a bracket. Maybe I'll finally get some next movie night...simple, cheap, and kinda celebratory without going overboard.
Popcorn's good, but honestly I was way more worried about caramel or chewy candies. Even now, post-braces, I still hesitate before biting into anything sticky...old habits die hard, I guess.
