well i got my braces off yesterday, on my 24th bday! it was fantabulous! i wore damon3's for about 16 months. my ortho really thought i was done with treatment back in may, but i kept wanting him to fix things. overall, im very pleased with my smile, although it's not really drastically different than when i started. im getting essix retainers to wear at night, and i had permanent retainers bonded on my upper and lower teeth.

It's nice to hear that you kept them on longer because you wanted things fixed!
