When you do, you have to post how it was so I can live vicariously through you. I've only had braces for 16 weeks, so it will be a long time before I can do that.
I'm scheduled to get my braces off on November 4th, but my Ortho left little gaps for veneers to fix 2 "peg" lateral inscisors on top. So, I'm excited my braces will be off but I'm bummed that these little whistle-makers will still be there . I wish I could have that beautiful smile when I leave the Ortho office next week. I'm jealous . Congrats on your new smile!!
By the way, any idea how long your teeth are supposed to be sore after the braces are removed? I know we all fantasize about biting into apples, etc. on de-banding day, but I would imagine there is a lot of soreness and loose teeth that day! Just wondering what to expect
