Hi everyone.

I've also posted in the naked tooth section but have a couple more piccys to share!

I've now got my braces off after what felt like a very long time! (2 and a half years nearly). I'm so pleased they're off and am getting used to my essix retainers which I'm wearing about 23 hours a day at the moment.

Here's them about half an hour after they were removed:




And here's about 6 or so months into treatment:


You can't see properly but they are so much better than before - esp my midline. A trip to the hygienist won't go amiss to tackle a couple of stains but all in all I'm pretty pleased with the results!

I have about a month to go!

Nice !!!! You must be so happy !! How does it feel ?? Is it strange to not have anything pushing your lips out any more ? And are you flossing like 1000 times a day because it's so easy now ?

They feel great Sandra - I'm getting used to the new brace-free feeling quicker than I thought - definitely don't miss them!!

congratulations! Your teeth look very pretty. I got mine off in April and I got a gift certificate for my birthday; which is today (I turn 20 today) to get them whitened. I hope your looking into getting yours whitened as well. Congratulations again!

LoobyLou,

Your teeth look FABULOUS!!!!! How thrilling for you to be done with braces after 2.5 years!

Love your smile!

Pictures like yours give me hope! I have the same deep bite thing going on that you had, and seeing your results helps me realize that someday this, too, shall pass. Thanks for sharing.

Idolfan4 - yes I am using some at home whitening products thank you - nothing fancy. Those pics do make my teeth look yellower than they actually are and when I went back that afternoon he polished off a couple of stains so they're already looking much better.
