Chris- lucky you with your braces being taken off! When I got mine taken off (early December) then I had to wait a week just like you until I got my Hawleys. I don't remember them being too bad, I mean, they will be a little tight, but they shouldn't be TOO tight! Your teeth will probably shift a bi...

thats awesome! a nice surprise!

I can't wait to hear your story!
