Hi everyone! I'm getting married this August and just over 4 months into my treatment. My ortho has kindly said he will take my braces out for a week so i can be free of them for my wedding. HOWEVER, my fiance has booked our honeymoon for the next day and we're off for just over 2 weeks. I havn't told my ortho this yet, but was just wondering will my teeth change alot during this time if i dont get them strapped back in straight away?
My flight isn't until later on in the day, but i will be in London and my ortho is about an hours drive away up the M1 (if theres no traffic!). I would love to be brace free for my honeymoon too and dont really mind if my teeth move slightly, but not sure if my ortho will like the sound of that. Scared he might want me to get them back on before i go, in which case i will be rushing around like mad!
Your ortho is nice! I asked my ortho if I could have my braces off for 5 days in aug (9 months into my 12 month braces), he laughed at me. but the assistant told me after he left he might be persuaded but I would have to wear a retainer. I guess teeth can move back pretty quickly.
