HAPPY BRACES OFF DAY TO ME!

Yesterday was a happy day for me! I've been anticipating getting my braces off for the last 7 months! Picture before braces....
The day I got my braces on...
Dental Freedom (other than clear retainer in the day and maxillary hawley at night)....
I took my ipod and listened to Rascal Flatts while they ground all the cement off my teeth....that has to be the worst sound in the universe so I'm glad my favorite boys made it a little easier to handle! Now, I can't wait to make a special trip to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory this weekend so I can sink my teeth into one of these carmel apples and of course many other delicious food items that I've been somewhat avoiding for the past 19 months!

Dr. Cook and I.....totally cheesing it of course! Don't you think if he had on a cowboy hat and some facial scruff he'd look like this guy? ha ha!
I so appreciate Dr Cook for making it possible for me to have braces! I was ALWAYS so, so impressed by their office...the wonderful staff members who were always so sweet, and so efficient! I give the highest recommendation to him for anyone (here in columbus) to have your orthodontic treatment done! You can look Dr. Cook/Dr.Hutta up HERE. I've always been self conscious of my smile....and even more so starting 9 years ago when I began working in the dental field. I've always wanted perfect teeth....and now I have them! A million THANK YOUS!

Big congrats! Enjoy the treat.

We used to be in the same student ward as the Cooks seven years ago! Wow - you're right about the look-alike.

SWEET MOTHER! It's about time! First off, you've always had a gorgeous smile. People would have killed for your 'before' smile. Second, you are one HOT MAMMA! Seriously, you look great and your teeth look amazing. I'm sure Brett is happy that he doesn't have to contend with the Brad Paisley look alike every couple months now...

You looked great before, during and after braces! I bet it's so wonderful to have those off. Congrats!

Melinda said...

Jami, what beautiful teeth! And you worked so hard for them, so you enjoy that chocolate. :)

Heather said...

I didn't even know you had braces. Braces suck as an adult. I felt so ugly when I had mine and all this time I had no idea you had them. I thought you were gorgeous before but WOW, you look awesome. I miss you!!!

Melissa said...

WOW! Your teeth look fantastic!! I am so excited for you! :)

Funny...Before I read the text - I was totally thinking that your ortho looked like Brad Paisley... ha ha

Congrats!

You look beautiful! I love your pretty teeth! It makes me want to get braces again.. wait.. nevermind. That was way too long that I had to wear those. Maybe you are inspiring me to put in my retainer tonight before I go to bed..

Looks great Jami!! Dr. Cook really really does look like Brad Paisley! I love Emri's pictures, she is so dang cute! Love the rolls in the 6 month check up, I love those snuggly babies.

What a fun day for you! I remember that day well and I remember that I just kept licking my teeth. I loved it!

Jami!!! I am so glad you finally got those dang braces off!! So sorry it took so long! Dr Cook really is a perfectionist though so he will get the job done right. They really look amazing! Miss seeing you in the office. Don't necessarily miss the office too much though:)
