BEAUTIFUL!! Congrats
Your 'gummy' smile (I didn't personally think it was) will get a little bit better in a couple weeks, once your gums are less irritated. I love your retainer!

Sensational results, Marta! - Your smile looks fantastic now, well worth the toils of having braces. Congrats
Makes it all worth it when you get the results you wished for.

Thank you
Talking about retainers, I got:
- a bonded retainer for my bottom teeth. This one begins at - surprise - my first bicuspids. In other words, it's 8 teeth long. This way we'll hopefully prevent the lower canines from rotating, my ortho said. How I can floss there, I haven't figured out yet.
- a hawley for my upper teeth. I was told to go to an... erm.. adjustment?
- in a month's time, and then probably after 3 months from then. This month I have to wear it 24/7, and I may take it off only to eat and brush. Maybe after my next visit I'll be allowed to take it off for 2 hours a day or so... I don't know, I just hope for that.
My speech is TERRIBLE! I know not many of you know how Polish language sounds, but we have a LOT of those "ch" (like in "chicken") and "sh" sounds, also "j" like in French "bonjour", and quite a lot of "s", "z", "ts"... I got a new nickname, Pardon
LOL
It got a little better now, but I still can't pronounce those sounds correctly. I hope it'll get better with time... Right now I have to take the retainer off when I'm on the phone because nobody would understand me...
But still, I feel great
and I only got very positive comments on my teeth. Everyone is surprised they're THAT straight
"As a keyboard", one of my colleagues said.
