Hi everyone.
Well today was the day. An hr and 1/4 in the chair and they are off!!!
It wasn't too bad. I thought the worst was the scraping of the glue. That almost killed me. Didn't have issues with the molar bands or anything though.
They feel awesome. So nice and smooth. I must've run my tongue over them about a million times already.
I got a bonded retainer on the bottom. It's really thin. I can't stop playing with it but I know with time i'll get used to it. I figured I was getting a Hawley for the top and was right (i'll get it next week)... I've ordered a blue one. It's my fav colour, so I just had to have it.
Oh there was also a surprise in store for me. I found out i'll be getting a tru-tain (essix) to wear over the top of the bonded one. I'm really pleased as I was worried about gaps opening with only 6 teeth being retained!
Well I think that's all I have to report.
Just wanted to write and say how things went...
Once I get some pics i'll be sure to add them!
