Spacers are gone. Yes!!!!!
The molar bands were installed a few hours ago. So far, not bad. I realize they will be sore later, but there isn't that horrid feeling of pressure that the spacers created. There IS a nasty lingering taste of the glue. I am having some trouble figuring out how to make the wax stay in place.
In 2 weeks I'll the rest of the brackets and archwires. I think the ortho wanted to ease me into it, given that I'm nearly a senior citizen. ;)
At this point I do agree that the molar bands are not nearly as icky as the spacers.
