Photos! Lots of photos! (And don’t worry, you’re teeth aren’t as large as you now imagine them to be!)

Eat a bag of rock hard candy covered in mounds of sugar.

Celebrate with a chili bacon cheeseburger or a nice big hunk of taffy.

Eat something that you couldn’t eat because it would stick in your braces before.

Buy yourself a huge variety of different brands of toothpaste and a nice electric toothbrush! Flash those pearly whites!

Felatio?

Or…..I agree with these answers, eat something that would normally be embarrassing to eat and eat a lot of it. Make sure you floss at least 3 times a week and brush your teeth before you go to bed, dear.

Buy a BIG bag of Tootsie Rolls. Maybe two or three pounder.
Don’t forget to brush afterwards…...

Buy yourself a big bag of caramel candies (like Milky Way bars) or a pack of gum. Save them to eat tomorrow night. Your teeth and gums will probably be too sore for you to feel like eating them today.

Well, if you already broke the rules like most people and you already had gum and stickey candies then start going healthy… Show some class :) consider this a step and you’re getting more mature. Thats what im going to do when i get my braces off!

Mine came off a month ago, and then the orthodontist stuffed a set of retainers in my mouth, which were uncomfortable and more obtrusive than the braces ever were. I lisped “If I’d known about thith when we thtarted, it would have been a dealbreaker.”

“I know, so I didn’t tell you,” he said.

I’ve been catching up on eating all the ribs and chewing all the gum I didn’t eat and chew for the three years I was wearing the hardware. I can whistle again.

Hug someone you love, & have a picture taken with you smiling ear to ear! I remember my tongue couldn’t get over how smooth my teeth felt!

you find someone, take a picture, and go out and eat with them. Make sure you eat somethin that you havent eaten in forever.

Congrats! You’ll have to message me on how long you had them on for. When I got my braces off, my dad took pictures immediately after we got out of the orthodontist. I took a lot of pictures and sent them to friends. I even got all dressed up and did what some thought were my senior pictures! Eat something sticky like laffy taffy. You have no idea how good laffy taffy or gun or something tastes after not eating it for almost 2 years (that is how long I had mine on.)
Once again, Congrats!
