Idolfan4 - yes I am using some at home whitening products thank you - nothing fancy. Those pics do make my teeth look yellower than they actually are and when I went back that afternoon he polished off a couple of stains so they're already looking much better.

Wow looking fantastic!! xx

They feel great Sandra - I'm getting used to the new brace-free feeling quicker than I thought - definitely don't miss them!!

Hi everyone. I've also posted in the naked tooth section but have a couple more piccys to share! I've now got my braces off after what felt like a very long time! (2 and a half years nearly). I'm so pleased they're off and am getting used to my essix retainers which I'm wearing about 23 hours a day ...

Hi Everyone! I got debanded this afteroon and have my essix retainers already (which are seriously making me gag - anyone else have this problem? Does it ease off?) I'm pretty pleased and this day hasn't come a moment too soon!! Here are before and after debanding pics: Before debracing: After debra...

Joney,

Thanks for your encouragement and congrats - yes I'm being treated in the Middlesex region too - I hope your Ortho is better than mine. Are you private or NHS?

Good luck with 6 August ... but if for any reason things aren't right ... be accepting and realise your time is nearly up and it's better to have the work finished now, than going naked without it and always wondering ... 'what if?' Karen you're right - I think I had a 'knee jerk' reaction when tel...

Hi everyone! It's been ages since I've posted on here but I really need a rant. I feel awful saying this but I really have lost faith in my orthodontist (I didn't have much to begin with) and am beginning to think he is incompetant and I'm wondering what I've spent all this money on. Here's why: I w...

Markuhde, I'm glad you're excited about getting your braces. I was too and was sure I wouldn't be self conscious before I got them. When they were put on I was more self-conscious than I thought I would be which surprised me. That soon wore off though and I forgot I had them and here I am 2 years on...

Wow they're amazing congratulations! Don't forget to smile loads!!

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted on here for ages (must have been at least 6 months :oops: ) and thought I'd better post some update piccies: Here's one taken about 18 months ago http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u92/Loobylou_07/DSC00934.jpg There were taken last night (my strange coloured back teeth ...

I was told 18 months but now it's about 20 and no sign of the end yet so I think I'll definitely be a 2 year+ patient. Sigh.

Communication is analysed to the max and a slip up on a word or a word projected muffled can cost me my degree Newmetal - is this what your assessor said to you? Quite frankly I'm shocked if this is true. I also did a teacher training course for my degree (though decided in the end that teaching wa...

Congratulations on your new smile - they look fab!! Enjoy...
