I went for my lastest adjustment yesterday and although hoped I would get a de-bonding date didn't really think that I would, but I did!!! I just couldn't believe it. I'm so thrilled. I can't believe I'll be brace free in less than 3 weeks. He he he.

It's strange, everyone I know has commented on how great my teeth look but now I have a date for de-bonding I'm noticing lots of little things that aren't quite perfect. It's ironic that 2 years, 2 months and 5 days ago when I got the braces put I wouldn't have cared about the small imperfections so long as my overjet was corrected, which it is. How fickle we are:)
There are quite a few of us with some good news to look forward to 
(I get my top arch debanded in a month)
