Sara/Re: Braces off before Christmas !!?!

[Guest guest]

Hellloo Sara,

You are so funny!! Our Sara girl is still at the head of the train

with those braces coming off next week. I will keep my fingers

crossed for you that next Tuesday goes as planned. I can't wait to

hear from you on how it feels without all that hardware in the

mouth.

Let me know how it goes next Tuesday!

Hugs to my fav June buddy,
