They feel great, look great but I look sooooo weird!!! I am used to braced me!!

I worried about my retainers for nothing....they bonded a wire the thinness of dental floss to my back teeth. That's it! I talk fine and can't even feel it unless I deliberately run my tongue over it. I pick up my Essex tomorrow for the top teeth but I have to wear them at night only.

I am relieved and happy to be out of braces.

I'm SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!
Any pictures? I can't wait to see!!!!!

I get mine off tomorrow and I expect I'll bring my camera with me and take pix in my car in the parking lot!!!

Thanks guys!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS KITTY!!!

I hope to be joining you in 18 months!

So.....was it worth it?

I'm so Happy for you !!!!! Wow I can't wait to get mine off .
I'm considering nursing school to become an R. N in the fall !!!
Good luck with your new career.

Woo-hoo – that's great news! Congratulations, Kitty!

BTW, what's flossing going to be like with that bottom retainer?

I ask because one of my bottom molars in particular is a real tartar factory, and I wouldn't mind having an idea of what to expect if I end up with the same kind of retainer.

Cheers!

Congratulations!

I have a LOOOOONG way to go but it's nice to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, proverbially speaking.

Woot Woot, congrats!

Congrats!

Thanks for all the well wishes and congratulations!!!

As for flossing, I just have to feed my floss thru my front teeth (with superfloss of course) and it's really easy.

I got my upper Esex the other day and LOVE it!!!!! It is so thin I don't even have a lisp. I have to wear it from "after dinner" til I wake up but I love it so much and love my straight teeth that I pop it in when I get home
