I am a day late in posting this since I have not been feeling well but the good news I am officially brace free!
I got them off yesterday afternoon, the top ceramics popped off so easily, the bottom front ones did not and two shattered.
I was actually scared of the removal process but it went very well, and the most uncomfortable part for me was the glue removal, only because I am not good with the air blowing on my teeth.
I go back in a week for my retainers, I have hawleys and I picked blue sparkles for my top and purple sparkles on the bottom. I figured might as well get my favorite colors and have some fun with it.
My teeth look whitier now than they did before I got them on, unless it is an optical illusion? I have no stains, thank goodness.
I am so happy with the results! I am so happy I did this. It was well worth the wait.
Sorry I haven't gotten around to posting the pics yet, but I will.
Braces to be removed June 2007!!! In time for the big day!
