At my adjustment yesterday, my ortho said that as long as at the next appt. I'm happy with the way my teeth are, he'll take the impressions for retainers and a week later take the braces off!!! So that'll be 28 September!!!!!!!
It's just not possible to put into words how excited I am - ridiculously so!
There's some final tweaking of a stubborn front tooth which wouldn't de-rotate. He did something pretty painful involving wires and power chains which was just awful but I can see the difference already. So, providing it doesn't move the other teeth too much, we'll be good to go.
I was looking back at some of my earlier posts last week and it all seems so long ago but in other ways, these last 13 months seem to have flown. All I know is, whatever it takes to keep my teeth in their new position, I'll do. As worthwhile as it has been, no way would I want to do this again....it's been a challenge to say the least. But just when you think you really can't put up with it any more, another change happens and it makes it all worthwhile again.
Sorry, I'm rambling! I'm just feel giddy with excitement!
As soon as I've come down from the ceiling after the debond, I'll post before and after pics. My 'during' pics aren't as good quality as some of people's photos on this site (never did master taking decent photos) so I haven't bothered with them.
