Hi all, I know I haven't posted much and not for aaaages, but I went to the ortho today to be told that my braces are coming off on 22nd November!!!!!

And I will be getting bonded retainers upper and lower as well as 'vacuum retainers' ortho called them, I think they are also known as essix?

Can't believe it, so excited!!!!

Thanks for the replies everyone

Advice for a newbie? Just be very patient, try not to obsess over your teeth, clean them well and just enjoy your braces (if you can!) cos they certainly make for a different few months while you wear them! I can't imagine what it will be like NOT to have braces - brilliant, hopefully!!
