Removing my braces was exciting. Well, at least in theory. In reality, it was a noisy, clanky, crunchy process. It was quite uncomfortable and until my orthodontist did the final "buffing", I thought my teeth either all fell out from the removal process or would look worse than when I put them on a year ago! Luckily, I was wrong...and I sure can't stop smiling!

My teeth are absolutely beautiful. Retainers take some getting used to, but once you get to the point where you only wear them at night, they're an afterthought, just like the braces became after a month or so of wearing them. The end product, clanky removal and all, was well worth it.
