The braces did not come off, but that is a good thing! My doctor inspected my choppers and asked me what my concerns were. I reminded him that he had put a bend in the wire on my upper right incisor last appt and he said he clearly saw that it had been pushed back a little too far.
So he put 2 bends on the 2 front teeth, because if you just put the bend on the one tooth the other tooth without the bend will move where you don't want it to.
He said my bite was perfect and also that the alignment is perfect. I just want everything to be perfect, it is so important to me. I will post pics soon
Thats great! Well in any case, you're almost there!
I starting to get a little nervous that they won't take it off on my d-day, but he did tell me last time everything was already looking ready, so hopefully that won't change within the new 10 days and I'll be free too!
You guys have such great looking teeth - so white. My teeth were sort of a dingy color when I started and to me the metal braces make them look sort of gray - almost blends in so that the braces aren't so noticeable. I sure wish my teeth were as white as the pics/with braces that I see on this site
