Hi everyone,
good news and bad news.... good news i have my debanding date, bad news its after xmas and new years.
Assuming everything looks good for my decemeber appointment i shall be debanded on the 18th Jan 2010
Until then im now having to wear my eleastics different again, this time to work on my bite as my molars have obviouly moved a bit and they need to settle down in their news homes.
im wearing them as much as i can.
I have had a 45 min appointment booked for the debanding and a further appointment to pick up my retainer.
Im both excited and aprehensive, but overall im happy that the journey is nearly at an end. It has been a long long time and im about ready to meet the world a much smilier person
Big Hug \o/

The End is Nigh!
Hiya everyone.
Big news update.
On monday i went for my penultimate brace adjustment.
this is about my 23rd adjustment since the beginning and my last one.
Howard my ortho had a jolly good poke and check around my mouth as well as consulting my before photos and record. He decided there and then that it would be in my best interest to have a fixed retainer as well as a removeable one.
I was at first confused and kinda worried about it as i had very different image of what a fixed retainer was. What im actually getting is a wire around the inside of my front 4 upper teeth which is glued directly to the teeth. Due to the amount of movement my teeth have undergone this year it is likely that they would move out of line when the brace comes off so this a very good precaution. Knowing that they cant move is actually a very good thing i wont be so paranoid of it all the time.
I then had some impressions taken of my teeth, something i havent done since the start, so to know im on the home straight is a wonderful feeling.
I have now 39 days left in braces. 39 small days!
Helen at Manor orthos has agreed to help me out with some photos and videos of my debanding, so i can at least end how i begun.
I am both excited and a little nervous of the end. You sink into such a state of contentment and acceptence of your braces that they actually become part of you.
Ive also been told that you get a phantom brace feeling for sometime after removal.
Overall i am happy with my journey and think my results will be fantastic.
so will post nearer my debanding date
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you all
Big Hugs to one and all!!!

Wow jealous and happy for you at the same time!!
Cant believe that you will feel sad for parting with your braces or whatever the phenomenon called, I cant wait to get mine off when it's still cutting and drying my lips after half a year into my braces.
Pics of the pretty teeth please, just to movitate us who are still serving our sentence!

Hi Everyone
TumbleDryLow, first brace free day, erm, dont know, there will be alot of brushing, alot of tooth licking and alot of smiling, going to get myself a nice posh hair cut in the afternoon, proper pamper myself for a day.
Gracey. yeah alot of people talk of attachment to their braces, people spend so long coming to terms with them once they are gone theres a bit of a void. All the routine and procedures you have to do daily revert back to normal and again your adjusting. Also ive heard you have the phantom brace for a while too, where you feel you still have it on.
Bekah, i agree, again acceptance of them in integrating them into your personality, people now say to me thats you, people who have met and known me since braces well thats all they know so thats just me.
9 days left today. a week on monday. jesus. its so close now!!!!!
Im kinda not beleiving it yet, feel a bit numb. lol
Im having a bit of a party on the 30th kinda my "reveal" to my friends, so i really hope the teeth look alright when they are naked!
ok i think the intensity of my posts might increase over the next 9 days
