An Update

#1 Post by AtomicSkier »

Haven't been on here much, but this is real news. I get my braces off in 6 days!

My teeth don't look perfect, but thats because its hard to floss for me, but once my braces come off on Monday the 25, I will floss, and everything.

I've come a long way since I had the put on till now. A lot of pain, suffering, not enjoying my favorite foods like Popcorn and sticky gum, whole apples, crunch food, chewy food....gah, the excitement is killing me....!

Congratulations mate.

I bet you're well happy to be getting them off...go and celebrate by getting all the stuff you've starved yourself of and eat away.

Good luck

Thanks.

My agenda after I get my braces off is as follows:

Get alot of popcorn, different flavors, brands...

Get apples....

Get all the different types of sticky gum there is and chew it all to make the biggest bubble EVER!

That sure sounds like a lot of fun. Come to think of it, a kid I know was blowing some pretty big bubbles a few weeks ago, but that's besides the point. :lol: Congratulations on getting your de-banding date set!! :-)o Maybe post some of your new smile when you get them off. :wink:

Thanks everyone!

The retainers are the ones you can see with the wire going across the teeth. At first I decided to get the invisilgn type, but my ortho thought the other ones would do best for me because the ones with the wire are easy to adjust while the plastic ones are if broken or bent out of shape are not fixable. They cost more too.

They are off, and I'm eating Starburst, chewy gum! The retainers are tough to get used to. I am gagging once in a while with them in...But hopefully they will pass.

I have a question, is it normal to gag with the top retainer in? If so, will this go away in a few days-a week?

Congrats!

I will hopefully get them off in 2 to 4 months and I cannot wait. There are so many things I want to eat.

Like Ribs.

Tooth-Colored Brackets and a white wire for 8 months.
