Paid off my braces....

#1 Post by newmetal »

Today i paid of my final instalment for my braces and it felt suprisingly good. Im a student and its been a struggle to pay of the £2600 pounds but somehow ive managed to do it in just over a year. I didn't think i was stressed about it as i didn't give it too much thought, but once i paid that last instalment i felt relief. Im going in to get my clear powerchains changed tommorow (as an emergency appt) as they have become pretty stained and i have a presentation on monday....and after paying off all that money i think my ortho should be ok with it. haha

Regards,

Newmetal

I'm happy for you! Yay!

I forgot to make this month's payment... :shock:

I'm so bad at remembering to send out checks... but at least this post reminded me.

This must be the week. :lol: :lol:

Yesterday I paid off the last payment. Total price $6200. Based upon my improved mental health and reduced TMJ, it has been worth every cent!.

I wore braces (this time) for 1294 days or 3 years, 6 months and 17 days.

....I paid my last installment today. Yay!

I will have to pay for my retainers once I have my braces removed, whenever that will be, but I will worry about that when it happens. Feels such a relief to have paid my final installment though!

I finally paid mine off in August - a shade over £4000 in total. It sure is a relief to have that out of the way!

Congratulations! What a great, mature, responsible thing to do! You are now the official owner of your straight teeth.

Hope your presentation went well, too. I love Powerpoint! And Excel. I used to make a lot of animated viewgraphs.
