DONE!!! 15 months post op

Hey Bloggers.

It certainly has been awhile, but I wanted to check back in and update you all. I'm sorry I have been so distant. As you can imagine, Life got busy!! I have been thinking about you all, especially those who have recently had surgery or preparing to go in soon. I will try my best to get up to date with your posts. I do really hope even though I am not on here as much anymore that my blog continues to help others.

Ok, so I've just come back from a massive 6 week holiday over in the UK and US. I had a fantastic time and even got to meet up with 2 very special bloggers (Dani and Amanda) in beautiful Santa Monica. What a great catchup we had! I still can't really believe it. I started this blog here from Sydney, Australia and would have never thought that one day I would have the chance to meet not one fellow blogger but 2 on the other side of the world!!!!! Very cool experience and one I will never forget :)

On Tuesday I had my final review with my Orthodontist. He took me for a quick trip down memory lane, looking at all my dental photos dating way back to when I first came into his practice at around 12years of age. So many photos on file of me and my teeth/bite showing my slow progress and gradual improvement over the years. Seeing his official before/after photos of me is always overwhelming. Such a massive change. He is very pleased with how everything has turned out, as am I!!!!
It's definitely a surreal feeling knowing that I am now 'on my own', I'm finally done with his treatment after such a loooong journey and many years of appointments. I am so very thankful for his time, commitment and on going persistence with fixing my bite and teeth. I would have never received such an incredible smile without his and my surgeon's amazing expertise and skills. Such a gift :)

Here's a few update photos. I graduated from University back in May. I was so excited to get some nice photos with my family and braces FREE.
