On January 9th, the braces came off! In under 2 years, I went from a mouth full of problems to a perfect smile. It's been a crazy ride of expanding my palate, a huge tooth gap, using wax as a fake tooth, and then bringing it all back together.
For the next 6 months, I have to wear a retainer all the time besides eating and brushing my teeth. After that, I'll only have to wear the retainers when I sleep. The orthodontist also put a permanent retainer on the backs of my bottom front six teeth. This is pretty much the finish line to my story. When I get some extra time, I'll put together some before and after pics. Here's the finished product as of now.
