Brace free!!!

#1 Post by jem »

After 18 months and 19 days I had my brace removed this morning. I had a bonded retainer fitted first and I will also be getting a clear retainer tomorrow.

I am delighted with the results. And to those who are thinking about braces or are are just starting out, it is well worth doing, so just go for it and understand that you will get over any early problems and doubts.

Good luck to all with your treatment
