(Partial) Debanding!

#1 Post by flowertowngal »

Well, I am almost there - I just got my top braces off and I will get the bottom ones off in a couple of months. I'm attempting to post pictures - I think you can click on them to see a bigger image - I hope it works - if not, I'll try again. Now, my teeth appear very yellow in the second picture but they're really not - the first picture was taken in the brightly lit ortho's office and the second picture was taken in my office with a camera phone - the whole picture is kinda yellow! I still need some reshaping - my front teeth are a really funny shape - and a little uneven - but I'm hoping to get that done on Monday when I get my retainer. For anyone who is interested in how bonding will look, the two teeth on either side of my front teeth are bonded. You know, I thought it would be such a relief to have the top braces off, and it is, but all it does is make it almost unbearable to wait until the bottoms come off!

Wow! They look awesome! My front teeth were shaped the same way yours are, but I had mine shaped already. Hope you get yours done too if that's what you want! Looking good!!!!!! :thumbsup:

My front teeth flared out at the bottom even more before the bonding. When I got the teeth on either side of the fronts bonded, my dentist shaved the fronts a little bit but they still bother me - I'm a little worried about it, actually. I thought my ortho would shape them right after the braces came off but he said they have to "settle" first. I'm really hoping when I go in for my retainer that he will do it - when I first proposed it he didn't seem to think they needed it. Uhmm...yes, they do.
