Thanks for all the comments guys, well I can say that I am STILL in braces, almost a month past my expected date but have an appointment on Tuesday 7th May and have a feeling we'll be arranging a removal appointment, well.. I sure hope so.

To those starting this braces thing, it really is worth it, don't give up! If you're sitting on the fence about the whole thing, it really doesn't impact your social life as much as you might think, at least when people see you have bad teeth WITH braces they know you're doing something about it!
Brace Date: 14th April 2011

Thanks again all who have posted, yep I am pleased so far! I went into my last adjustment today and got told the amazing news that my braces will be off on June 18th.

Although this is later than originally quoted, it gives me plenty of time before my wedding on 6th July to get used to my new smile for photos haha...

He is going to shave a little bit off my 2 front teeth to make them more even as they are a bit chipped from their previous positions.

Also I will be getting essix retainers which look like clear invisalign trays, he also said I can buy a backup set for £50 which i thought was very reasonable.

For the last 6 weeks I've been told to have elastics in both sides and when I get my retainer it will need to be worn once for 24 hours and then every night for.. the rest of my life.. fun fun... :)

I must be losing it. I could have SWORN (seriously I would have lost money on a bet) that you already had those suckers off!

Well nonetheless, Im smiling because I know how freakin awesome June 18th will be for you.

It is amazing and emotional and fantastic in every possible way and you are going to have so much fun adjusting to life with an AMAZING SMILE! Keep your eyes on the road and off the rearview mirror!
