The Damon's came off withut a problem, but the assistant had a hard time taking off the ceramic Innovation C's; some broke and went flying as they were pried off. The glue was the hardest to remove. The scraping was like fingernails on a chalkboard. I can't say it was the most pleasant experience.
It was worth it once they were finally off. The teeth do feel smooth - almost fake. I am surprised at how white they are without all of the hardware and stained powerchains covering them.
I picked out the colours for the Hawley retainers. I went for violet with mother of pearl sparkles and an artist's palette and brush for the design. It will be bright and flashy. After all, I didn't get to have fun with ligatures and the only powerchains offered were clear and grey.
The retainers will be ready on Thursday and I go back in mid-December for records and to have the teeth shaped. My ortho likes them to settle before he shapes them.
It was fun grocery shopping today. I kept thinking "I can eat that, and this, oh and that too!". I'll post photos when there is better light to take them with. Well, off to admire the semicircles in my food!
