I had an orthodontist appointment this morning and wasn't expecting much - just some new power chains and maybe if I was lucky no more elastics. The Dr said that everything was looking fantastic and they could come off in the new year (orginally due to come off in May). He said that he was booked out in January so to make an appointment for February!!! So February 20th is the big D day!!
I am so excited and completely shocked - 3 MONTHS EARLY!!!!
Just wanted to let all the posters know that it can happen they CAN come off early. I think I was so susprised because I just had in my mind they were coming off in May and didn't let myself considered the possibility of an early parole.

Hey there! That's just lovely!!! Congrats!
I have no clue when mine are coming off. I think my lowers will be ready in maybe less than 12 months. We'll see!
You so lucky! 3 months early is awesome!
Let us know what happens!
