And they're OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I am SOOOO happy! Today was *the* deband date and I still can't believe how terrific they look! I keep looking at myself in the mirror....wait, are those MY teeth???!!!! He was able to shape the chipped and worn down teeth and it makes SUCH a diff!
I have to get used to the Hawley's. The gag reflex is in overdrive right now! I was told today to call Monday and they will have an Essex for me to wear on the top too! A bonus! So hopefully that will be less gag-worthy for me?!
Also, I just went for a cleaning and talked to my dentist; I am going in to see him Monday too so he can "build up" my #10 tooth. Said I should get three years out of a bonding! Almost perfect yet!
Any how, without further ado............the new choppers (adios jabbertooth!)
And they're OFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!

They look great, you must be very pleased. I get debraced in exactly 14 days (2 years and 4 days) and cannot wait although I am getting a bit nervous about the actual debanding. Did it hurt getting them off? These things are stuck on so fast that I can't imagine how they will come off so easily.

Re: And they're OFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!
I found it didn't hurt much this time around, but the first time I had braces it really hurt. It depends on the ortho I suppose. I did notice that for my frontals (upper and lower) this time, it felt like he was gonna break my teeth in half, but that's probably because I have sensitive teeth!PatJ wrote:They look great, you must be very pleased.

The worst of it for me was having the cement ground off.
Congrats on being so close to the end!
