Since I'm a level II mod, I was able to see your username and respond to your feedback.
The reason why I thought you might want to keep them on for a few more months is because I generally trust my doctors, and it seems like a better idea to try and get as much work done as possible before you take the braces off forever.
I did say in my answer "Or whatever month you want them off by," so if you wanted to get them off ASAP, I wasn't going to tell you not to. I didn't think it was that urgent though, because in your last year in high school, you won't be known as "the girl with the braces," if that's what you're fearing.
But once again, if you want them off immediately, then just tell your doctor. You might want to ask him, realistically, how much he can get done in a month. If his answer isn't impressive, then you can just have him take them off right there and then.
I won't lie to you, having the braces taken off was a damn good feeling, which lasted for at least a week and a half. It's like... "holy crap, I can feel my teeth with my tongue!"

I know people at my school don't really notice I have braces but I do and I think I'll feel a lot better with my braces off. I'm sick of not smiling because everytime I start, I remember my braces and stop.
I want them off now especially since the chances of him fixing these little spaces by Grad is nil.
Yeah, I know getting them off is probably a good feeling but if I take them off and there's still a problem, I'll be more like, "Yay I can feel my teeth... and several gaps that should have been fixed two years ago" [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
