In the home stretch....

#1 Post by sea54change »

On Thursday I went to the ortho thinking both top and bottom braces would be removed. He removed only the top! The bottoms will come off on Jan 5. I'm wearing a retainer at night. This Thursday I will go to the dentist who will put a splint on my 2 upper teeth.

My top teeth feel so STRANGE without braces. It also feels weird when I brush my top teeth. Thye are way too smooth!

I don't have any before photos, however will take photos of the plaster molds that the ortho made. I was looking at them on Thursday and can't believe how bad my teeth were before braces!

I'll wait until bottoms are off in Jan to take after photos.
Bottom braces: 9-1-10
Top Braces: 12-1-10, enamel
Debrace date:Top 12-12-11
Bottom: 1-5-2012
