Good luck with your brace removal. Would love to hear how it goes and see pics!

Thank you! I was already planning on putting pictures up! In fact I have a post up now. Good Luck on your braces removal as well!
So here we go....final pictures - braces off and in Essix Retainers.
When the braces first came off I actually really didn't like how my teeth looked...they just looked too big and weird! But I've had some lunch and feel much happier with them! Yay! Dental odessey almost over! ....going to need to put some lip balm on...3 hours in a dental chair with suction and stuff has dried my lips out like crazy!

WOW Starfish, this result is really AMAZING!!!! Your teeth look so beautiful and to me they are perfect! Your overjet is gone and your former narrow upper jaw looks kingsize now!
How great that this was achieved with braces alone considering you were recommended surgery. I am so happy for you, congaratulations!!!!!!
