hi all!

Today at 11:15 my beautiful (*cough*) braces were removed. I took me about 2 hours and i'm fully set with an upper and lower permanent retainer. I'm also getting an hawley retainers for my uppers on wednesday. I'm still figuring out those imageshack and photobucket thingies to update some before and after photos. Tomorrow i'm going to the dentist to sort out my front teeth by removing and renewing some of the bonding, after that i'm all done with my teeth. I'll keep you guys posted and i will post some pictures upcoming thursday...

Greetings...

Congrats!!! Can't wait to see your pictures. I love reading the naked tooth section because it gives me hope that there really is an end. Did any of your bonding come off when they removed your braces? Just wondering because I have two teeth (upper laterals) that have some bonding on them also.

Enjoy your new smile, and any food that you may have been avoiding.
