DEBRACED today: ahead of schedule!

#1 Post by quentin »

Hey everyone, I'm so thrilled to report that I got my Damon braces off today! It's been such an incredible journey, and I definitely find it surreal to be the proud owner of this 'Colgate' smile :BigTeethGrin:

Full details & progress updates on my blog: http://fullmetalpanda.wordpress.com

If you're on the fence about getting braces, don't hesitate anymore. I never realized how much my teeth needed help until I got braces, and today was just incredible.
For those who are still in braces, hang in there! Know that it's all going to be worth it in the end.

My original estimate was 22 to 24 months. Today is 1 year, 6 months, and 2 days. I'm really happy to have beat the estimate by 4-6months!

Now, the retention phase begins...

Wow, amazing results ! Your teeth are beautiful.
The fact that you got debraced earlier gives hope that not ALL treatments end up longer than expected. That's great !

If I may ask, did you have to correct your bite as well, or just the alignment of your teeth?

Hi! I had to correct an underbite, as shown in my "before" picture. It was non-surgical. My bite corrected after a couple of months :)
