Well gang today I had my braces removed!!!!! I am totally thrilled. I also went to my dentist and had all my chips taken care of. I am still in awe at how different I look now.
Here are some pictures
This pic. is before braces....
Here is now....
I am wearing an Essix on top. It is actually not too bad. So far I find it comfortable. On Wed. I get my bottom Hawley retainer. So far if all goes well I have to wear the top 24/7 for a month. After that I could go to night time only. The bottom I will have to wear all the time until I get a bridge done. I don't have plans for a bridge until at least a year from now. Once I get a bridge than I will have a bonded retainer.
All in all it has really been worth it.

Your teeth look fantastic and your smile is so great, you look so happy, and so you should be. If I get results half as good as yours I'll be well pleased.
Enjoy that freedom, eat what you want, and don't forget to show off that fantastic smile.
Regards
