I sent this post to Lynn but I'll also post it here.
As somebody that had braces for over 2 and a half years and endured 2 extractions, Iwas extremely excited to get my braces off. At my last appointment I asked my Orthodontist if I was nearing the end. He told me my braces was nearly ready to be taken off. Because my Orthodontist was so booked up, the earliest removal date was 7 weeks away. But much to my surprise once I got home, I received a phone call that said I could have my braces removed in 2 days if I wanted to. Of course I said yes. So the big day arrives and a couple of assistants asked me if I was excited to get them removed. Once again of course I said yes. The next step was to sit down in the chair and to get the braces removed. This whole process took about 50 minutes. They removed the brackets, glue,
and shaved some of my teeth to make them look straighter. Their was some pain involved as the braces were on pretty tight. I then was instructed to rinse my mouth with water. My first reaction to seeing my teeth naked was that they looked huge. Oh yeah my teeth also
felt really slimy. The next step was for them to create my retainer. I had to bite down on some blue gunk. The Orthodontist explained how important it was to wear my retainer and explained all the instructions I should follow. They also took some “mug shotsâ€
Braces are OFF!!!

Congratulations
I am so happy for you. I am just starting my dental process. So I found your story to be very encouraging. I can't wait until I can submit my removal story in about 20 months. Denise
