HI EVERYONE!!!!! Goodness its been forever!!!! But an update is due. Brace-free retainer life is really good however, I've slacked terribly and at one point only wore my retainers at night when I was supposed to be wearing them 24/7. :oops: I've cracked two lower retainers, the second time it happen...

Hey Everyone!!! I wanted to give you all an update since I've been a whole week without braces. Retainers: Not too bad! I'm getting the hang of things. The top row goes on and comes off with no trouble at all, the bottom row, I think it hates me occasionally. The very first time I was actually able ...

Thank You Everyone! Today was my first official day minus the metal and it was awesome!

Thanks Lau !!! I can't either!!! So, my BIG final evaluation is tomorrow, I have an idea, thanks to a fellow braced co-worker of mine who posed an excellent question. "If they're finished, what are they waiting for? Why not take them off right now?" As crazy as that sounded at first, I qui...
