YES!!!! They're off, but I'm worried!

#1 Post by Tasha0313 »

Okay, so I got my braces off this morning. WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I've been so busy running around all day, I'm just now getting a chance to post the pictures.

I am so happy that they're off, but I had a slight open bite on the right side and it looks like it's coming back. I'm getting a little worried about it, I'm not sure if they will even be able to close it without putting the braces back on.

Anyways, I LOVE my retainer. I can't talk worth a d@mn, but it's pretty lol and that's all that matters huh?

I wasn't able to get my before pics, but here are the final results.

Looking good. I love your Hawley's, they look like mine; especially the bottom pne since both of mine has that clear base on them. You'll learn to speak with them will quick.
