***I posted this on the Naked tooth forum too******
Well gang today I had my braces removed!!!!! I am totally thrilled. I also went to my dentist and had all my chips taken care of. I am still in awe at how different I look now.
Here are some pictures
This pic. is before braces....

Here is now....



I am wearing an Essix on top. It is actually not too bad. So far I find it comfortable. On Wed. I get my bottom Hawley retainer. So far if all goes well I have to wear the top 24/7 for a month. After that I could go to night time only. The bottom I will have to wear all the time until I get a bridge done. I don't have plans for a bridge until at least a year from now. Once I get a bridge than I will have a bonded retainer.
All in all it has really been worth it.
