Apologies in not updating for so very long! Here are some befores and afters from when I'd just got the braces off: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7397/10734376865_019139bb21_z.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5503/10734407455_4318c16cb0_z.jpg And my favourite.... http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2876/...

Life with retainers I'm still wearing my retainers every night. Contrary to my initial fears they've not broken or anything, although the plastic over one of the canines has a bite mark in it. Over all they keep my teeth in place and seem to have good structural integrity. The plastic is still clea...

I had a similar concern when a stand in dentist filed mine down; sometimes they can be overly cautious because taking too much off can damage the teeth/make their appearance worse. That seems a long time to go between appointments, mine were mostly every two weeks. The teeth can only move so much be...

Thankyou so much! Congratulations on starting your journey. Sometimes the teeth can take a while to loosen up and move, and individual pain thresholds are also a big factor in the sensations that you feel. When the teeth are on the move they get ever so slightly wobbly. if you can feel the pressure ...

Just posted about my initial reaction to my retainers and teeth whitening method in my braces story. The information may be useful to people who are curious about the last stages of this process.

Retainer and whitening appointment Today was a very straight forward and cheerful appointment. My dentist showed me the moulds of my teeth that he took for my retainers and said I could take them home with me so that if my retainers ever get lost or broken I should bring the moulds in and he can ge...

If impressions are being made and not already made then you probably won't get them on the same day.

As for pictures my dentist is going to give me the after ones, so it is something that happens, yes.

Wow! What wonderful progress you've made already. You have a very pretty smile, pearly white and on the move :) May I also say how extraordinary your bravery has been and how proud your husband must be of you. Fear and pain are not weaknesses, but over coming them shows great strength. All the best ...

Hi Ifkat! Thankyou :D It's fantastic to hear that you're so close to freedom :lol:. Congratulations to you too! That last bit always seems to take the longest. Glad to hear you're happier with them now. That symmetry makes a huge over all impact for such a tiny detail! I actually got my top front tw...

Good luck on your journey! Make sure to check out my story and feel free to ask any questions you might have.

I was constantly showing my parents my teeth throughout my treatment :lol: And now that they're done I beam and laugh constantly to show them off. There was once though, nearer to the end of my treatment, where I got mortally embarrassed. It was a family party with loads of people there and my grand...

Well, after 5 months and 4 days I finally had my last Inman Aligner related appointment today! My dentist took the impressions for my retainers (which will be Essix and thus used for whitening trays too) and contoured my teeth. More details up on my story which is linked in the signature below. I'm ...

5 months 4 days AKA THE FINAL ALIGNER APPOINTMENT! [/u] Today was the day! :D Guess who has a much more beautiful smile now? And I just can't stop using it! My dentist reviewed my teeth and contoured them today. The contouring involved an experience similar to the filing that was done inbetween my ...
