Mine were originally scheduled to come off in early November, but my debanding date got pushed back to the 30th :? Still November though! :D

How frustrating but at least thats not too much of a delay! I'm just dreading something coming loose or a strange movement to occur...

Same here! I especially get nervous on weekends - I'm afraid a bracket will break and my teeth will move out of line or my bite will become "off" before I can it fixed. Paranoid, yes, but when you're close to the finish line, you don't want to take chances!

I had my retainer impressions for my Hawley today (I chose caribbean blue with silver glitter). My debanding was pushed back a week because I have to have other impressions done for my essix the day the brackets come off and retrieve them latter that afternoon. It's only six more days than I thought in braces, but it's SIX MORE DAYS!!!!
