Thankyou Jenny and Melissa!

I've been brace free for two days now, it feels very strange. I keep biting the inside of my lip when I eat because I'm not used to them being so close to my teeth! I don't have a retainer at present, my ortho took the moulds for them and is posting them out to me (they are like invisalign) he told me i'll need to wear them full time for a week then drop down to nights. I keep catching my reflection in mirrors and not recognising myself! It's quite surreal, but honestly well worth the discomfort and lack of curry and red wine! (I had a lot of both on friday night!)

Thank you everyone for all your kind words, and I hope all of you get to your de-bracing day soon!

Some people just have all the luck I guess. Ha. Nice smile though. I envy your braces-free lifestyle!

Hi, Amy,
Congrats on finishing your treatment so quickly!!!! Did you have it done in only one year? How long was your original estimation?

I just have some questions about your treatment since mine is very similar to yours in some sense. I noticed on one side of your teeth, you didn't have the standard class II molar relation which is required for our treatment. And you mentioned at some point that your back teeth need to be moved forward? If so, how did your ortho do it and how much do you think your back teeth moved forward.

Thanks a lot!!!

Congrats, your teeth look amazing!!!!

You are one lucky girl, I can totally relate to the strange feeling..... I can't imagine how it will feel like without the wires in my mouth lol!!
