Today, I went to the orthodontist, and found out when I was supposed to get my braces off. His exact words, "You'll get them off around Christmas... but we're not sure what year." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got a date for Valentine's Day. The date is with my orthodontist; he's going to tighten my braces. FML
Today, I went to see my orthodontist. He informed me that I have an underbite and I will probably need braces again. I just had them taken off last year, after five and a half years of oral hell. FML
Today, I arrived 10 minutes early to my orthodontist's office to get my braces off. It turns out my appointment was actually one hour earlier, and now the next available appointment is in four weeks. FML
Today, I went to my orthodontist where I was informed that I'll going to the prom, to my brother's wedding, and maybe to university with braces in my mouth. FML
Today, I got my braces off. I also got my tongue pierced. Both by my orthodontist. FML
Today, I got my braces checked by another orthodontist since I've had them for years and my teeth never got the way they should be. After 8 years and 27 x-ray exams, my orthodontist didn't do much except loosen the root of the tooth to the point where I can move it. FML
Today, I got my braces on. When we got in the car my dad looked over and said "well at least we dont have to worry about boys for the next two years." FML
Today, I have an orthodontist's appointment, and I told my best friend that I was going to get my teeth fixed. She replied, "Wow, thanks. Your smile's really awful to have to look at." FML
Today, I went to the orthodontist's to get my braces tightened, and I chose baby blue bands. Turns out they make my teeth look extremely yellow. Only a month and a half to go. FML
Today, I found out that instead of having four wisdom teeth, I have eight. They all have to be removed as soon as possible, which happens to be over the Christmas break. I get to spend my whole vacation in excruciating pain and a swollen face to boot. FML

I REALLY hope you mean "you deserve to have beautiful teeth".

Unfortunately not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign, otherwise I wouldn't be spending 3 and a half years with my train tracks :/

My orthodontist does something similar. He always says: "Oh! You'll have you braces in 6 months!!" 6 months later at another appointment he says: "Yeah...it's gonna be another year. Keep wearing those braces!"

Like you can just take metal braces off...

I know it's hard OP but it's worth it. I had braces for close to 5 years & now I'm not self-conscious about my smile. It's a pain in the ass but the pay out is worth it. :)

That's oddly unspecific

Don't worry OP, I had braces for 6 1/2 years ?. It will be worth it when you have perfect straight pearly whites!

I'm sorry OP, I had braces from 4th or 5th grade up until 9th grade. It felt amazing getting them off! It'll be worth it, I promise! Just make sure to listen to your orthodontist.

Is it not possible he meant they weren't sure which side of the new year it'll happen but it will still be around then? So December 25th +/- 15 days?

I had mine for two years. It's a pain, but once you get them off, it's so worth it.

It's totally worth it. My friend had braces for 9 years and just got them off. Just make sure you wear your retainers afterward if you get any. I made the mistake of not doing that and I'm in need of braces for a third time and have no ortho insurance.
