Metal Mouth Message Board

I am so excited I just went to my third debond check...and I my top fixed retainers...which was not the easiest thing in the world. After 30 minutes of having my mouth open and the ortho and the assistance trying to fix the retainer on I was done. When I sat up the assistant which I love...told me that the next appt. I will have my braces removed (jumping up for joy)...so she leaves and comes back in the room and tells me that my next appt will be in six weeks...which makes it May 9, 2006...I couldn't believe it. So she told me that the ortho was going to come in and take a look and left the room once again...keep in mind I was in a state of exstacy...I got up and booked my next appt. and left the office ...I'm such a nerd without seeing my ortho...my next appt. I will also be given a removable retainer...what kind I have no idea. Wow Three retainers for one person...could it get any better?

That is great news!! Soon. Congrats :)

*!*smilez_of_metal...Congratulations. That is fabulous!
I love it that you got so excited you left! And I loved it that you shared that with us!

Kiwi-I used to have my kids count the sleeps before we went on vacation. I haven't heard that for a long time...thanks for the memory!

So far it hasn't really registered maybe the night before

Congrats *!*smilez_of_metal!!! That is fantastic news!

About the counting down thing.. when I found out a few weeks ago that I was getting my braces off, I downloaded a countdown timer onto my computer, which is now constantly on my desktop! (a bit nerdy.. but hey, I can't help that I'm sooo excited).... only 4 days, 11 hours, 21 mins and 30 seconds to go, but whose counting??
