I had my braces removed this morning! It's so nice having them off! I'll give a complete review and show pics later. Right now I have to go to work! Until later....

There you go! You guys need to learn to be more patient! :)

Ok, so they put in a permanant retainer on bottom and put a wire behind my two front teeth. Next they popped off all the brackets which was really easy. After that, they loosened the bands on my molars. ON MY GOODNESS! When they did that, there was the worst smell I have ever been subjected to! It was like rotting meat or something! Next she polished off the cement, took x-rays, made molds, and I was out of there. It actually took a really long time! I'm so excited! They look great but they're a little stained. They look really white in the pic but they're not. I started Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus tonight! I let you know how they work!

I'm surprising my boyfriend tomorrow! I didn't tell him I was getting them off! :)

Wow! Leslie, you teeth look amazing. You must be so happy. This is what we are all striving towards. The rewards are so worth all the hard work along the way. Congratulations from me, and enjoy your new smile.

I love your dog too! What a sweetie.
