I got them of today, and I am so happy! I don't like my "gray" tooth, but I will get it fixed as soon as I can.

Looks great! Do they feel super smooth? Your teeth are the same size/shape as mine so I really liked seeing this since it will give me an indication of what my true goal is and why I am about to go through this. Thanks!

Wow your teeth look great! :D

From reading your first post it sounds like you've been through quite a journey - you've had 'SARPE, full braces, upper jaw advancement surgery'? but I bet it was worth it in the end!
Braces: Metal fixed upper and lower
Estimated treatment time: 18-24 months
Braces Removed: August 2013 (after 33 months in braces)
Retainers: Upper & lower essix and lower bonded

lilone, I am trying to post the before but I guess the file is too big. No sure how to do it. I can tell you they were really gross though, lol. They were extremely croweded, open bite, underbite, and crossbite.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! :jump: :jump: :jump:

They look awesome and don't worry about that one tooth, you can get it fixed and it will be perfect.

What kind of retainers did you get??

Right now I have a temp (instant essix) on my top front teeth. TOmorrow I am getting both hawleys and essix retainers for top and bottom and also a bite splint. I guess since I ama special case he wants to be sure my teeth don't budge, lol. He may have said both for the top and an essix and splint fo rthe bottom. I am not sure. I told them I wanted hawley and to my surprise the assistant said he is getting me both. Anyway, thanks. I had a long road and I am very happy with the results. :D
