jennielee81 - Yeah I'm getting used to the Essex retainers, I have them top and bottom. It's abit weird not being able to bite down completely but each day it's abit better.
It is amazing to see the changes when the braces are gone. You kinda keep looking at your teeth thinking " Are these mine?"
Thanks for the sweet thoughts everyone

Am I Enjoying It? "Hell Yes!"
WOW I can't wait until I can start treatment! It'll prob be a little while though, since I just got 2 wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. I haven't picked out a ortho yet. By the way you have a beautiful smile.
