Symbolism

I finally got my braces off this week. I had to wait two years of dealing with the braces. Every time I went to the orthodontist, I felt pain. The pain lasted for almost a week each time I went to the orthodontist. I had to deal with getting food out from in between my braces every time I brushed my teeth. 

Once I got my braces off I was so relieved that I didn't have to deal with pain or getting food out from in between my braces. But, then my orthodontist said that he had to put spacers in to close up a gap between some of my teeth. I also have to get a retainer, so now I have to deal with more metal in my mouth. It seems that I can never escape this struggle of braces.
